Painting Upholstery

I have always been curious about painting upholstery and decided to give it a go. I found these puppies on Craigslist for FREE. Yes, you read that right. And they were is great condition. No funky smell. No nasty stains. Only a small amount of dust and hair clung on for its life as I vacuumed them off.
My supplies:
I mixed my paint with the textile medium and some water in a 1:1:1 ratio. With the spray bottle, I spritzed the water onto the fabric of the back rest and used my paint brush to spread the mixture onto the fabric. This took many coats, but finally I finished. (More detail on the blog.)
We love the way this chair turned out, regardless of the blood, sweat and tears that went into it. Be sure to click on the blog post link, for more pictures, tips, and tricks.
