Flair for Your Chair
Jul 8, 2011
Curls and swirls! Here is a cute little chair redo from Suzy at Joy is at Home. My grandma used to have a vanity seat just like this, covered with a little red velvet cushion and I thought it was surely the fanciest thing that ever existed. I doubt I would have thought that if it sported a crusty Coke-themed cushion instead.

Always impressed with chair re-do's actually I think they might be my favorite since they are usually so drastic. What was up with the floral poop, I mean print in the early 90"s?
I really NEED to know where she got that yellow quatrefoil fabric! I have a chair in my master bedroom in desperate need of a makeover, and that fabric is the one! Please ask Hanh to share (or share the link to her site!)
Hi there, it's Hanh. That fabric sure is perfect. I looked for fabric for that chair for months. I was jumping in joy and giving people hugs when i saw it :D. It's not widely available for some reasons. I bought it from a store in Charlottesville, VA. But when I was short a yard of it, I was able to order it from here: http://www.decorativefabricsdirect.com/Braemore_EMILIO_LEMON_DROP_Fabric_p/6684012.htm - pricier, but was glad to find it at all. :)
Thanks for featuring my chair, Lindsey.
Love em! I have the perfect chair sitting in our extra bedroom just WAITING for a makeover. $5 estate sale deal woohoo! Now I just have to learn how to reupholster :)
So this is a LONG shot...but Vue the explorer (HAHN), if by chance you see this...what did you use to paint the trim black? I love the finish. I love the chair and have some similar i am looking to redo in black trim like that.

Alma, if by chance you see this, ha!, I just used glossy spray paint, and glossy clear protective spray finish as well. I would recommend the Rustoleum Enamel Spray paint in black. It's oil based, very durable so much so that you wont need the protect coat! less work! I didn't use it for this particular chair but have used it in other projects. I'd go with it if i were to do this all over again.
