An {almost} Chair Makeover

by

 

Good Day Lovelies! 


I’m sharing my {almost} chair makeover.
Oh Happy Day. 
An incomplete project… what a treat!


The upside is, you can help me choose the fabric.
I am terrible at making decisions 
so really, in all honesty, I need your help!!

Today is the first reveal in the 
Blogging without Borders-Season of Change Series

I had decide to makeover a chair.
I have never done that before, though I know it’s old hat for many of you.


I have a set of 5 dining chairs. 
It just happened that way…
Only needed 4 chairs, but the set was for 5, 
so I got a bonus of sorts. 
I am assuming the 6th chair met some sort of grizzly end? 
I asked, but they wouldn’t talk about it.


That leaves me with an odd man out.
Perfect. Extra seating. 
It travels around wherever I need it and at this time, 
it resides in the living room.
(It got the boot from the bedroom when I put my exercise bike in there.) 


Here is my progress;
It looked like this to begin with…

 

A soft, matte black, distressed.
With a checked, fabric seat.
A neutral nelly.


I decided to go from one extreme to the other and went for new white paint.


I can hear it know…
“Wow. White Shannon? You are so adventurous!”

 

It’s been rainy here.
{don’t ask}
So, I removed the chair pad/seat and I just painted it in my living room.


I like it white.
It’s a nice change and I did’t have to decide commit to a color. 


I actually love color, I really do! 
Just not as much as I love to be able to take anything I own, from one room to another and have it match. 
I really, really love that!!


I have two fabric choices. 
{so far}

Fabric #1
 
and fabric #2

I had both on hand. 
And like both.
But am not sure I am ready to commit to either? 


Number #1 is so pretty, and it makes me happy just to look at it!

Number #2 would look great if/when I pop it back in the bedroom.
(see how that neutral went with everything?)

Problem is, both fabrics would limit where I could place it. 
So I might need a typical “safe Shannon neutral”
and have to buy a third option.
Boring though right?


So… Help!?
I know, there is no help for me…
{haha}

Have a wonderful day!

    Shannon, I hope your used a brush not spray paint. :):) I like the chair white …but I can’t choose the seat covering. I almost go nuts in fabric stores. Good luck with your choice honey.Smiles, Susie

    I love Fabric 1 for the chair! Love the pops of color. Fabric 2, on the other hand, is beautiful-so beautiful that I had drapes and a bench covered in it for my dining room years ago-have since changed the whole room.

    Fabric 1 wins hands down! Plus it’s got aqua – it was meant to be. And I think it would fabulous in your bedroom too. Mix those patterns and have fun! Bring out your inner fabric wild child!

    I vote for fabric #2. While I do like fabric #1, fabric #2 is more neutral while still having some color. You could always add a thick ribbon in the shade of blue from fabric #1 around the chair back. Also, like you said, if you need to put the chair back in the bedroom, it will match.
