Very Nice ! I Love the color of the cushion, and good choice of mixing the colors on the chair. Great Job.

Great results as shown by your pictures. Well done! Another method you might want to try: Rit Dye in a spray bottle. Works great for dark over light fabric conversion. Choose a sunny day and work outside. Wear old worn-out clothes. Dye can be messy. First mist entire piece lightly with plain tap water. Then spray lightly with Rit Dye diluted in hot water as instructed on the package. (The first misting with tap water helps the dye absorb into the fabric evenly.) Allow fabric to dry. Spray additional layers of dye, allowing to dry in between, if darker color is preferred. I have used this method for several pieces (including a boring full sized off-white sofa that became jazzy purple and teal) with great results. Simple, easy, cheap, FUN!

Have a question about this project?
The “oops paint”. Is it a regular flat or pearl interior acrylic? Will the paint rub off on clothing? It’s awesome.
