This project has been on my to-do list for so long.
A Chair makeover.
I primed it and painted it white. My plan was to glaze it with a brown color, but after I had it painted, I decided to try distressing it with sandpaper. It's subtle, and I love it.
Next, I covered a new pad with fabric and reattached the seat. It's the perfect height for my quilt frame :)
Ready for the before and after?

That is a beautiful chair. I need to reupholster my diningroom chairs, but I think that will wait a little longer. I have a lot of work ahead of me you see.
Way to go crossing things off your list.
Your chair looks amazing! I love the white and the new fabric. I've never done anything like this. I'm too chicken! Maybe one day I'll work up the courage. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks, Driftwood Girl! The trick is to have nothing to lose:) If you find a fixer-upper at a thrift shop or if someone gives you a piece in need of some TLC...it's perfect.
Thats very nice=) I love the details on the wood, the carvings, and then how you distressed it and made into what you wanted=))
Visiting from power of paint party=)
Marie- That's hilarious! and so true.... Oh no, now I'm going to be lugging home chairs without a home to perform experiments on! Should be fun, if I ever find one :)
I have a plan...you can sell your experiments on Craig's List. That way, you can play and learn...and make a profit. (Do you think my husband would buy that?) Of course, knowing me...I would become attached to my ugly duckling furniture and would not be able to part with it:)
it looks like a completely different chair. great work!
So pretty. It looks like a different chair. Good job.
LOVELY... beautiful all creamy white & your fabric is beautiful too. Thanks for sharing at the PoPP.
It looks fantastic white...you can see all the detail now. I am having a thrift party now, I would love for you to join in on..I have it every Friday. Also, I am having a 60.00 CSN gift card giveaway...you may be interested in that as well. Debbie
