(Shudder)
Yep I admit it, I made these poor chairs look pretty fugly with that purple fabric and I should have just left the wood as is. So stupid, ugh!
I guess I can't say it was a total mistake though- The one good thing that came out of it was that I learned how to tuft a seat cushion, something I've never done before! So it's kind of a bummer that I have to tear it all apart but in the end this look just ain't gonna fly anywhere in this house! Time to get to work!
More to come on these AND the sunroom soon! See you then!
**** How would YOU redo these chairs DIY style? ****
What color or wood stain for the chair frame?
What type of fabric & color for the seat cushion?

ReplyDeleteI thought it, but just couldn't say it, glad you've seen the light ;0) Considering it's going in such a dark room, I've realized that metallics really brighten up a dark room and bring elegance, contrast and modernness. What if you painted the chairs metallic silver (unless you're going to strip/restain them?) and do either a nice neutral or accent color for the cushion? Good luck with whatever you decide! Bonnie

ReplyDeleteI have a similar chair in my daughters room. We painted it a white chalk paint and lightly distressed it. Then used a brightly colored paisley fabric on the seat. She is ready for a change so it's going to be changed and/or used somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteI imagine it will be a big chore to strip so I think we will have to paint again. I wished I had left it the original wood and maybe stained it a darker walnut. I have also seen these chairs painted that light beachy turquoise blue and love it! Maybe one day for my dream beach house!
Good luck!
