I took it outside to paint it and removed the sitting pad
part and the ugly pink pipping all around..
Here is the naked chair....
and here it is with the first coat of paint.
I used BERH's ultra white paint and primer mix..
here it is after three coats of paint...
I took it inside after it dried, ordered yellow chevron
fabric off of etsy and went out to buy the stapler!
A week later I was ready to finish the chair!
The first staple was awesome! lol It is powerful!
Excuse my upholstery newbie self getting all excited over a stapler!
Here is the finished product...
and here is my lovely little imperfect but perfect for me chair..
and some Before and Afters...
What do you think? Not bad for a first time huh?
Have you ever re-upholstered something?
I would love to hear about it and maybe see pics!
Share some links with me please! :)
This chair is now in my guest/craft room which I will
be sharing a reveal of this week!! :D
You did such a great job! The chair looks great painted white, and I love that chevron fabric!! My husband and I reupholstered some chairs earlier this summer, which was my first time going at it with the staple gun, too, but I loved it! Thanks for sharing your first project! XO, Katie
