I had this chair for
a very long time. I actually have two. Last year (or two summers ago) my sister’s
neighbor moved and gave this chair away for free. The chair was in very good
condition, and I just knew it would be fabulous once I did my magic. I have been
trying to decide if I want to reupholster the chair or paint it. I’ve found so
many great fabric painting techniques on line and I knew I wanted to try one.
Well, last week while at Joann fabric I found these awesome fabric paints on
clearance for $1.97. (I believe the regular price was $5.99 or $6.99) I
purchased two bottles of this fabric paint, and decide on Sunday to get the job
done! I briefly read the directions which included the drying time of four
hours, which was perfect due to it still being the morning and it was supposed
to rain later that day. I sprayed the paint on the fabric, and then
I brushed the paint in the fabric with a paint brush. (To allow the
fabric paint to attach better to the fabric, this step was not required I just
did it.)

Once the fabric dried, I was beyond happy with the results.
I decided not to paint or spray paint the legs of the chair. (They were in
really good condition.) Now I want to
paint the other chair pink or red. I will keep you ladies updated!!!
Thank You For Stopping By!

ReplyDeleteI never knew you could paint upholstered furniture. Thanks for sharing. Your chair looks great.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so nice I am so not crafty my mom got a chair from someones corner one time and brought it home to refurnish and I am sitting in it right now as we speak
ReplyDeletewow...great job. i have to try and do this when we move!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love it! I have been itching to paint a chair as well but just couldn't gather up enough courage to do so (it is vintage). But you convinced me!!! So there was no need to dilute the paint with anything? You just spray it on and then brush it?

What a dramatic difference! I've never had the confidence to paint fabric. Does it feel stiff after it's painted?

It looks great! I didn't know you could paint upholstery to change it up. Now I want to try it, too!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, so bright and colorful. Like a whole new chair. Can’t beat that for the price!
