the chair started out in really good shape. it's a nice heavy cast iron. not a bad paint job and the cushion was in great condition. the paint job was a little beat up, but that's to be expected with it's age. the original fabric for the seat cover under this tapestry was an olive green velvet.
i posted about where it came from here.
the tapestry seat cover was pretty but a little old-fashioned looking.
the legs were gracefully curved and
the back had a pretty flower and vase detail.
but it wasa little a lot dated and grandma-ish.
the gold detail is always the first clue that something is dated.
i felt that it needed a dose of fun and modern
so
i sprayed it a glossy white paint
and recovered the seat in a fun, modern and graphic fabric.
i love this print....
it feels younger and grown up all at the same time......and way more hip....
chair: craigslist $5.00
fabric: hobby lobby about $2.50
spray paint: home depot $3.50
total: $11.00
