Chair Rehab (From dark and dated to soft and chic!)

Here's a sneak peak of the chair after, it has a lot of great detail!

  
Here it is before, dark and dated....


No seats...


Luckily I have two of them, I was so gung ho on getting 
one of them painted, I didn't take before or during pics.


All I did for the seats is nail down a board and cut foam to fit.


I stapled the drop cloth fabric (witch I love to use) it's durable and neutral.
Then, I created my own trim using the same fabric 
and for a change I used regular old tacks, I like the look!


After the blue paint, I did a quick dry brush with white paint.


Then added gold Rub 'n' Buff on the details of the chairs instead of distressing.


I am really happy with the way it came out, now I have to do the other one to match!


I felt with the rest of the chair being so fancy, 
I would down play the fabric and tacks to give it 
a more casual look, soft and chic!


Now an update on the hole in the back yard...


It keeps getting bigger... maybe we'll put in a coy pond :)

    When I look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine but
    when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, awesome blog!

  29. Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to
    my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She
    placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell
    someone!
