Upholstery......something new

I tried my hand at some upholstering. It was really just removing the old fabric, covering it with new batting and then stapling new fabric on. Found just the perfect fabric at JoAnn's and it was on sale.  The chair is sooo cute! It started out really ugly,  but now, WOW! This is Helen's chair that she rescued from being put out with the trash!


Here it is before. The vinyl was so bad. I figured out the back was just stapled on with about a million staples. Got those out and used some wood filler and a good sanding and some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in one of my favorite colors, Provence. Much, much better than new.

This vanity stool was my mom's. I just love it. She had covered it and painted it herself many times. Now it was my turn.

 

 

The paint here is ASCP in Paris Gray with clear wax. The fabric is the same pattern as the chair just in a different color scheme. I just love it. If Betsy has a spot for it, it's hers. If not I will find a place for it.   

We are having another paint day tomorrow. We found several great items this week to paint. We will also finish up some more of those we started last week.

Thanks for stopping by!
