A couple of weeks ago we shared our first attempt at giving an ugly chair a much needed new look. It’s fair to say we had mixed feelings about the end result and wanted to try something else to salvage the chair. We racked our brains before Simon suggested Chalk Paint. We’d used it before, but only on wood and didn’t know if it would be possible to create a good finish on fabric.
We were hoping to share the second part of our upholstery alternatives today, but as we’re not quite finished yet we have another office project to share with you. If you saw our inspiration post last week then you may have noticed that one of the images featured Schumacher wallpaper.
It’s funny, but this post wasn’t originally intended to be a two part post. We’d found a chair for a fraction of retail price on eBay less than 20 minutes away and just about got it in the car to bring home. The fabric choice wasn’t to our taste but we’d reupholstered a chair before so how hard could it be?!
