Speaking of chairs, I picked this one up last year and its been in my parents house ever since. Its not exactly the color I want but I have plans for that.
I haven't brought it home because I'm sure it will cost half as much to reupholster where my parents live.
So, when I saw this chair in the thrift store, I snatched it up because colors like this were what I had in mind ..

I was thinking of painting the frame blue, but I might go pale grey instead since its more neutral. I didn't think the white fabric was a good idea, but I came across a blog post (can't remember where!) of someone using outdoor fabric to reupholster a chair to make it stain resistant. Great idea!
Hopefully, I can get this done sometime soon!
Nice chair, it will look nice when you are finished with it. Can't wait for your post. sandi

I'd love to see the before and after- great project!
ReplyDeleteOoh I love a good chair redo! Upholstery costs so much in the area. I'm thinking of trying to do it myself. I'm also going to check out your list of local treasure hunting stores.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

I love the chairs in your post! The orange chair is really, really interesting. Can't wait til you post the after pictures. Hey, I really like the hardwood floor color in your first picture, too!

I really like the details on your chair too. I totally agree that gray is the way to go - much softer than blue, and will go with so many more colours. It will look very swedish vintage when you are done.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see how this turns out! I'm jealous that your parents are able to keep that plant alive - it's gorgeous. I can't seem to manage to keep any house plants alive in our place :(
