bright and bold chair: before and after

I told you all that we are going bold and bright in my daughter’s room. You remember the $3.99 Goodwill chairs? Here is what we did with 2 of them for her room:

Re-covering chairs like this is easy peasy.

1. Remove the screws from the bottom of the chair with a screwdriver or drill.

2. Peel back the top fabric and see 3 decades of fabric underneath

3. Take your new fabric, fold, and staple with a heavy duty staple gun (no one is going to be looking underneath your chairs)

{fabric is Amy Butler Trumpet Flowers Pink from Fabric.com}

4. Replace screws

 

Almost forgot~

On painting the chair:

1. wipe it down with liquid sandpaper (found at home improvement stores, walmart, etc) 2. Give it a coat of spray paint primer

3. give it a couple of light coats of spray paint (we used Krylon cherry red)

I didn’t know how my neutral, safe self would handle bright and bold,  but I’m kinda liking it…
