I spray painted both chairs(chair with arms was the same color as chair on left)
The next chair I also painted and updated the chair pad with a linen fabric. Next a made a cute little slipcover for the back of the chair to hid the broken back. Also added a monogram for good measure. This chair will sit at my computer desk in the downstairs living area. Here's a look.
For closures I used mother of pearl snaps. Looks like I may have pull out my iron, looking a little wrinkled, just ignore that part ok, thanks.
Here is a close up of the monogram and pintucks. Not sure if that is what they are called (does anyone else know?), whatever they are called I. Love. Them. Much more dressy than a ruffle. For the monogram I used fabric paint which was my first time play with and it is so fun. Definitely have to dream up so more projects to use it on.
Hope you enjoyed, have a great day.

Awesome Robin!
ReplyDeleteI L.O.V.E. the armless computer chair! I may have to figure out a way to copy. I'm on a hunt for a chair now!
Beautiful work. I on the other hand have been a total dud. Keep it up. I think you're sparking some creativity lost within me.
