Vintage Chair Make Over - The Big Reveal!!!
So just a reminder of what I started with ...
And now...
here is the finished chair (I still have the other one to do!).
Don't you just love it!
I recovered the fabric with canvas drop cloth. Yep, I'm hooked on drop cloth. :)
Then I printed out this cool french graphic and cut it out with my cutting knife.
Then stencilled the graphic with black paint and added some gorgeous french red stripes.
I decided not to paint the body of the chair as it was in great condition already, instead giving it a good clean and a coat of furniture wax.
I love the contrast it brings to our table of white chairs.
I'll be putting the other one at the other end of the table when I'm finished. :)
I love my new look chair. And best of all I had all the materials so it didn't cost me a cent to do. :)
Just a quick reminder of the "before"...
And the "after".
clever! how much fun are you having? gorgeous! I love how the red stripes look too.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! Love the drop cloth idea and it looks very french with the red stripe and lettering.
ReplyDeletewhat a difference! it is so cute now! the 70's called though and they want that fabric back!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great!! I am going to try my hand at recovering a couple chairs and then using a stencil as well.. we'll see how it goes :)
