Decor: “Before” chair

Posted 05/22/2009 by Rachel in Decor \ 1 comment

Hi there! I daydream about interior design and color combinations, so subsequently I'm always wanting to redecorate my house (which drives my husband crazy)! I love my husband and our 4 dogs, working in a creative field, a good laugh, and a great margarita. ;-)

Hi!  I am a small but comfortable round backed side chair with caning under my graciously curved arms.  I am small enough to be moved around the house as needed, but I can still offer enough comfort to a guest through a long football game.  Yesterday, I was living in one of the coolest consignment shops around.  My crime?  My outdated upholstery and old patchy finish.

But my new lady took me home with the hopes of turning me into the real beauty she knows I am!  With a little paint or stain, and a new, less strange fabric choice, I know I can look as gorgeous as some of these former wallflowers-turned-beauties:

With a little paint or stain, old furniture in good condition (and lamps, for that matter) can be turned into that unique one-of-a-kind piece that’s also budget friendly!  So stay tuned for my “extreme chair makeover”!!

we heart your comments!
  1. Did you makeover this chair yet- I cant wait to see how pretty she looks now!
