These sad old chairs got a makeover with an artistic twist, thanks to Rita from Curbside Creations. (love that name!) I like that she resisted the urge to completely repaint them, and let a little bit of the original red shine through.
If you can recover a chair, you’re pretty cool in my book. If you can recover AND monogram a chair, you deserves a special crown or something. Thanks to Katherine for sharing this great project from her blog, Classic Campbell. (Hence the “C,” just in case you thought it stood for “Chair,” which hey, maybe it does, who knows?”) Also, check out her blog to be really jealous of where she buys fabric.
Though I have never crossed paths with Gwen from Murphy Grace Home, I am almost positive that her before ottoman is the mate of a scary orange living room chair I grew up with. I love, love the fabric she recovered it with. It’s very hip in a vintage way. Neo-Vintage? Did I just coin a new term?! A quick google search tells me that no, I did not. Darn it.
This little table was cute, but it had the blues. Specifically, the I’m-Not-Quite-The-Right-Color-of-Blue Blues. Talia from This Little Life of Mine gave it a fresh coat of paint in a cheery blue-green, and now it’s fab!
Morgan – aka Mrs. Priss to those in the know – took pity on this sad, stained little chair, and now she’s sitting pretty! (That was really cheesy. I apologize.) It really is pretty, though. The after shot looks straight out of a magazine. I want one!
Here’s another chapter from the “Wait, I Can Paint That?” textbook. Most “outdoor” rugs are extremely boring and ugly, uh, not very exciting, especially when you get them on the cheap. But the creative possibilities are endless with just a few supplies, as DIY Maven Joann demonstrates in this project. Don’t you think it looks very nautical? I love it!
