Hi everyone! I had a very nice and productive weekend these last two days. I had some down time to relax and read. Some free time to spend online catching up on some favorite blogs and Pinterest. I was also able to get a few projects done!
I've been slowly working on my dining room. Last week I painted the walls and trim.
Saturday I worked on two chairs that I'm going to use in my dining room for extra seating.
This is how my chairs turned out!
This is what they looked like before.
They weren't bad...I actually repainted and recovered them a few years ago. In our previous home they lived in our living room.
,
It's hard to tell in the pictures, but the before chair was actually a creamy off white color.
I removed the seat and then painted the chair white. I used my electric staple gun to attach the new and much bolder chevron fabric.
I am in love with chevron and this was the perfect way to have some in the room without it being too "in your face"!
So happy with the direction my room is going!
More dining room reveals to come soon!
Have a super Monday!

Amy your chair looks great! Actually both the before and the after look great! :)
ReplyDeleteSo stylish! Love the chevron!
ReplyDeleteI have a chair so similar to this one that i recently redid and almost picked the same fabric as you! I ended up with a white and green pattern, but still looks very similar! So funny that they are alike! I am so glad I found you blog and am your newest follower! If you ever have time come check out mine!

Loving the print on the fabric that you choose! The black really off sets the white and is very visually appealing!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! :-) I love the chevron!!
ReplyDeleteI like both the before and after, but sometimes it is great to have a change. Putting the chevron on a chair is a great way to use it as it can be a rather bossy design otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE chevron! What a nice, bold change!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great transformation! The chevron fabric adds a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteOH my gosh I love it! Nice job
