Accomplishing this look is way easier than you think, I mean it! Here's how I made over my upholstered chair- made simple! I've had these old Pier One chairs for some time and they've seen better days. I love the style of the chair, and was not willing to see them go. So, I set out to update them and match them to my decor. Well, they came out so good, so I had to share the process with you!
This is what the back of the chairs looked like before i made any changes. What's great, is that no primer was needed in this process!
And here is what the front of the old chairs looked like, time for a fresh update!
No priming or prep needed, I just went for it, and applied the chalk paint. I love love this color!! I added a bit of trimming detail, and that's it! They look great! Here is the view of the back of the chair.

    They are beautiful! I bought an ugly brown Naugahyde chair at a yard sale for $1.00. Brought it home and painted with Paris Gray by Annie Sloan...what a drastic change and now a useful bedroom chair. Thanks for the inspiration!
