No Upholstery Skills Needed!

by Sissy J
Redoing upholstery can be a big undertaking, but you can often find vintage chairs where the upholstery is still in good shape (or will be after a quick cleaning). If you paint the frames in bright white, black, grey, or another bright coordinating color, it will bring them back to life. (Use duct tape & grocery bags to keep the upholstery safe from paint.)

    I really love these chairs, and what you did with a little paint, but I'm still thinking "Boy they would look fabulous with different upholstery" but thats just me, you did I great job!

      Me too! Lol! I love them like this, but can’t help myself from imagining them with about 10 other different fabrics on them! 😊 Navy & white w/ kelly green trim is my current obsession. Lol. I hear ya!
