Thrifting with my daughter-in-law one day, we ran across these cute chairs:
Granted, they need some work, but they have good lines and were in good condition, just a bit dated.
I ripped off the fabric and painted them a soft white. I had a fabric in mind, but when I went to the fabric store, they didn't have it. So I found a couple others I thought would work.
The chairs sat in my living room for a couple of days like this while I decided which fabric to use. I would walk by on my way outside and think, "Definitely the blue one"; then I would walk back inside and pass the chairs again a few minutes later and think, "No, I think the yellow is better".
Finally I chose the blue, partly because I realized I wanted to use the other on a black chair.
I think I made the right choice!
And the yellow and black looks great on this little black chair!
Looks great. I love the chairs. Have been considering getting one myself!! Did you re-do the fabric yourself or have it custom reupholstered? If the latter, would you mind giving a ballpark of the price?? Sorry, don't need to be nosy, but just wondering if it's worth the cost. Thanks so much!!
ReplyDeletei reupholstered them myself, so the cost was just the fabric. it wasn't difficult. i have another chair to do soon, so this time i will do a tutorial.
