Yay the chairs are finished! Here is a picture of them before...
Here is them after....!!!!
As you can see I like to take shots from all angles so you can get the whole picture. : )
I painted the chairs three coats of white. Then hubby stripped the old fabric off.
This is the chair after the fabric was put on.
Hot hubby working.
Here I am hot gluing the trim on.
Great post! Chairs looks awesome; I would pay seriously good money for something that looked like this!

i cannot believe how amazing those chairs came out. you guys did such a fabulous job!! my eyes popped at the afters. i love the detailing at the top of the wood on the chair frame, it pops out more painted white. love, love, love! :)
ReplyDeleteSo Snazzy I luv them! Perfect blend of tradtional and modern :)
ReplyDeletethey look terrific with the rest of your furniture. nice job...i would never think to tackle a job like that-did you just staple the new fabric and glue the trim?? your stripes line up so well:)
ReplyDeleteYou guys are a good team! Great work! They look so nice!
ReplyDeleteMy living room is next on your design docket ok :)
Oh wow!! These look amazing! Awesome choice of fabric, they are really gorgeous and I'm totally jealous!
ReplyDeletethose are so hot. omg, i'm literally gasping at your amazing-ness.
ReplyDeleteyou go girl
Alison- Richard stapled on the new fabric after the old fabric was removed with an air compressed staple gun (strongly recommend) and then I hot glued the trim on. Richard is always the one to hang pictures and that sort of thing up perfectly so I am so glad he was such a great help putting the fabric on. I don't think I would have done near as well without him!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great weekend! Love you all!
OH WOOOOOW!!! Leah your chairs look amazing!!!! I really like the great contrast they create in your living room, pretty perfect if you ask me ;)

You must be so proud and happy with what you have accomplished. I am still trying to tackle the antique rocker, I definitely have a love hate relationship going on with it. I posted the fabric I am using and you can see it and the trim but the chair gave us yet again another problem but we have conquered it and we are on our way. Happy Monday!! Kathysue

ReplyDeletei just found 2 chairs (practically identical) to yours on craigslist for a steal!
i've been searching for months for a pair, but now that i've found them i'm worried about recovering them. then i remembered this post!
i wanted to know if you did them yourself (if so, how did it go?!!). or did you have it done?
if you have a moment, let me know!
