April Fools! part one
Apr 1, 2010
In honor of April Fool's day, today I'm going to show a few projects that are just too zany to believe!
First up is this chair makeover by Tootsie, featured on her blog Tootsie Time. Before, a faded, plain wingback chair. And after ... did she recover it in leather somehow? It's so precise ... and ... shiny ...
Do not adjust your monitors, what you are looking at is layers and layers of latex paint! I've seen fabric spray painted before, but never this effect. I bet you could wipe stains right off! I admit, I'm not super fond of the color, but imagine the possibilities... Zany, I tell ya.

Woah. That's pretty bizarre!
How creative.
That's...very...umm...interesting?
Whoa... interesting. Wonder what it feels like...?
All that paint kinda make it look like leather!
Hey, the kid's couldn't stain it! I think its a good idea!
well...the color has since changed to a nice deep red...and I love it! lol
I am so flattered that you put that on your blog!!! thank you! I posted that chair since and the rest of my hand made living room...thanks so much!!! happy easter!
okay, last summer in a moment of madness I painted the fabric on my dining room chairs. Lets just say that ultrasuede and paint do not mix - the fabric feels like sandpaper... slipcovers were made and new chairs are being eyeballed... this makeover looks alot more successful than mine :)
OMG!!! I was looking at your posts...and stopped dead in my tracks! THAT'S MY KID'S ROOM!!! THAT IS MY CHAIR! lol
thank you soooo much for featuring me! what a compliment...
three years later she says thank you!!!
hugs!
and by the way!!!....the chair...is still standing! It holds up really well...and still feels and looks like leather. A little furniture polish makes it shiny and very slippery! lol
