This chair project was inspired by some art work I did for his room a couple of months ago and it was encouraged into my painting schedule by The Fab Furniture Flippin' Contest this month. The theme for September is Geometric and the sponsor is General Finishes, they have a wonderful prize pack awaiting the winner of this month's contest. They generously gave each contestant a product to try as well.
I am honored to be creating side by side with many talented furniture refinishing artist this time around and honestly they have blown my mind. If you would like to see more of them you can check out The Fab Furniture Flippin' Contest's Facebook Page.

Now, some of you may remember that my son just got a surprise makeover for his room over the summer. He loves every inch of it at takes good care of it now that it is all organized. Though his reveal is over I still find things to add to his space and his love for reading calls for a reading corner and chair.
I began by taking the cushions off of the chair and cleaning them up with vinegar and water. Sanding the surface of the wood and cleaning that too. The base of the chair is painted a Licorice black and the chair cushions began with a Snow White base coat, several coats with sanding and cleaning in between. Those are needed when painting fabric (click for tutorial).
Blues, greens, grays, and geometric circuit board patterns. Typical Teen boy room right? I had to have every thing custom made (good thing I have a lot of talented people in my family) or make it myself to get this space to be themed circuit board/technology. He love this stuff, and he loves to embrace his inner dork, proudly! I love him for that. He had a lot of input on this project I am sharing with you today and he is very excited to get it into his room.
One last final look at the before and after. Thank you for supporting me and my work. Please let me know your thoughts in the comments below and if you love it pin it or share it.
