Fresh Chair
So one of my clients (who I do nails for) has seen some of my upcycling projects & her mother in law had given her this chair years ago & she asked me to upcycle it for her!!!
so I was very excited as this was only my second piece to do for someone else!!!
so here it is & how I did it!!
Before
i gave it a wipe down!!
Using my drill - I unscrewed the cushion from the stool!
Using some wood filler I filled any holes or cracks!
Filled the holes with filler and allowed to dry
then I gave it a little sanding to smooth out the filler
Using my bin primer - this blocks out any dark colours that may seep through the light colour paint!!
(I learned this the hard way)
use an old brush for this as it ruins your brushes and rollers!!!
First stage of the priming
All primed!!
allow to dry before going in with your colour!!
I chose:
Fusion Mineral Paint in Damask for this project!!!
First coat of paint
Getting into all the nooks and crannies!!!
First coat done
i left a few hours in between the second coat!
Second coat complete!!
Fusion paint has a top coat in it - but for extra strength I added 2 coats of their top coat
Using a sponge I applied it!!!
it had a light sheen from it!!
Found this beautiful fabric that matches the paint perfectly!!!!
Before fabric!!!
Measure and cut fabric making sure you have enough on each side to fold over and cover the seat
Fold over
Using a stapler - secure all around the back of the seat!!!
pulling tight so it’s not loose on the front!!!
And just like that it’s done!!!
i screwed or back onto the chair
And here she is finished!!!
hope you guys like it!!!
