New Color For An Old Chair
Okay, so you guys are going to think I’m crazy with this one. And maybe I have gone too far. I’ll admit it :) But from a purely decorative standpoint it’s awesome, just maybe not so functional. What did I do, you ask?
I spray painted my chair. Yes, this one:
{before}
{after}
What do you think? I think it looks so much better! Now I’ll explain the method to my madness. I found two reputable sources saying they spray painted fabric on a chair (Eddie Ross and Little Green Notebook). From the mouth of two or three witnesses right? And, since I love to spray paint things, I jumped at the chance. Plus, no one ever, ever, sits in this chair. I figured I had nothing to lose!
Like I said earlier, I love how it looks. But I will admit it is a bit crispy although it’s not too bad. The black doesn’t seem to rub off but I probably wouldn’t try to cozy up in it if I’m wearing white. Another plus, just by looking at it you can’t tell it was painted. And I am wanting to recover it in the future. I just wanted a fix right now. And I got it :)

Well I love it and I have seen it done on design shows too. SO KUDOS!
Oh my goodness, you are hysterical! I love the way it looks and you are right, who cares if no one ever sits in it.
What would it look like if you put the pillow and skin back on it?! I think it would look even better now that it’s black!! (or dark…is it black or really dark brown?) Either way, it looks awesome!
you dad says {crazy woman} and I say {way to go}!!!! Ive seen it done before and why not?! looks great but Id rather see it in person – hey, Im going to soon!!!!!! 21 days and counting…..
