so I have been wanting to re-upholster this chair for a while. It was from my families old dining room set, they're at least 20 years old. The table and most of the chairs were tossed but I saved a few, because besides the paint job and the fabric discoloration the chairs were still in pretty good shape.
Initially I wanted to paint it yellow to with my room. I've always wanted a fun colored chair but, my yellow spray paint is still amongst the missing! boo, thought i found it, got so excited, test sprayed and it was the white spray paint with the yellow cap, so who knows where the yellow spray paint with the white cap is. It was fairly nice out, though a litter windier than I would have liked, I grabbed my tarp and brought my chair outside to the backyard and gave it a good spray down.
It looked to new and clean! although the white isn't as lively as the yellow, I figured it would match more if I decided to re-fabric it again to go with something else. So to go with my room I chose the blue and white striped fabric.
Then I threw together some little throw pillows--a yellow one of course, to brighten it up... and ta da! yayy new chair!
