A Little Cute, A Little Unexpected

Chair Makeover with Premier Prints

May 31, 2014 by Hearts&Sharts 29 Comments

When we were looking for homes in Georgia, one of our (my) requirements for a new home was a workshop/craft space. I mentioned to our amazing real estate agent that I enjoyed re-doing furniture. When she said she had a basement full of it, my eyes lit up. She left this pair of chairs with me to see what I could do with them… Perfect candidates for a chair makeover.

Excuse the basement cell phone pic.

I painted them high gloss white and dressed them in Premier Prints Canopy Storm Twill and Premier Prints Abigail Storm Slub.

Ready for the after?!

    Love your DIY tutorial. You are funny! Great pics, nice and clear and up close and personal. Very helpful to hear about the mistakes such as getting the wrong type of cording. I started using the vinyl cording (the type in marine upholstery) because it doesn’t flatten out very easily and it is easier to feel it through bulky upholstery material. I also noticed that your sewing machine looks like it has a little window so you can see when your bobbin thread is low. Somebody in R&D at Singer is thinkin’. My vote goes for your updated chair. Did you spray paint them white or use a paint brush? Great choice of colors and coordinating fabrics. A+ 🙂

      Thanks, Diane! I used spray paint on these – I despise painting with a brush. Next time I try this, I will def try the vinyl cording. Thank you!

    Beautiful job! Was sent over from AT too. That double welt is magnificent, you really are good. Yes, you should do it professionally. How about just reselling on Craigslist?

    Hi!

    Just popped over from AT. Those chairs are amazing! Are you using them in a room?

      Thank you, Renee! I am not using them in a room. Our house is totally full, I just have an addiction to re-doing furniture. Playing with the idea of starting an Etsy shop to clear out the basement, though. 🙂

    These are just stunning! I love the fabric and the stripes on the back – gorgeous. Looking forward to your post about double welting. I have been commissioned to reupholster two 100 year old chairs that have double welting so this will be very helpful.

    Hi Dena! Gorgeous makeover! I have a pair of chairs I’m considering recovering myself so I’m definitely looking forward to the tutorial, since you obviously have mad skills!

      Thank you, Stephanie! I posted some tips and tricks – here – but not a full tutorial, since all chairs are different. When you decide to go for it, if you have any questions or need some help, I would be more than happy to help in anyway I can! The info on the piping will be up tomorrow. 🙂

    Shut up. Seriously. Why do you not refurnish furniture for people as a side job? You’d put everyone else to shame.

      I would totally love to! I have an addiction. I can’t stop… I’ve been looking into getting a booth at a consignment shop but the upfront fees are so expensive! Plus, there’s a little bit of fear of not selling. It’s on my list of 2014 goals, so… werkin’ on it, girl! Thanks for the compliment!
