Chair Redo
In the past year I have done many little projects around the house. Mostly they have been repainting a piece of furniture that I already have (bought at trinkets & togs or goodwill). Here is a set of chairs.
I’m so disappointed that I didn’t get a before picture of them. I bought them for $5. each years ago. They were a dated brown. I painted them black & recovered the seat with a very light grey material. Tired of the black I wanted to lighten them up. Thank goodness for Annie Sloan & her awesome chalk paint.
Finished
In the picture the two white square tables were also painted just recently by Chelsea. They were also bought for really cheap & that dated brown wood color. Again, no before picture. (I have to get better about taking pictures). The thing is, I usually start something & then think “oh I should blog this” , missing my opportunity of a “before” picture.
I bought batting to put over the seat.
Measuring out the batting
Placing the material on the seat
Stapling the material, I like to fold the edge under.
Only the corners are left.
I don’t like the present look…So I staple & pull each piece of the corner until there are no creases in the material.
Using 4 screws I attached the cushions back onto the chairs. Quick & easy redo. They really lightened up the room. I’m so glad I picked this fabric. It goes perfectly with my banner over my fireplace.
