As I am STILL covered in blue spray paint, I just could not wait to post about my new chairs I made inspired by one of my favorite stores Anthropologie!  I came across the chairs at a flea market and they were in pretty bad shape.  I wish I shot a before picture of them, then you could have really seen the transformation.  Luckily I saw the chair’s potential and new I wanted to go really bright on the color and choose a great fabric that was not so “done”.  The first step was to restructure the chairs (I had 2 of them) since they were a little weak.  Then I worked on the chair pads and WOW did these chairs get cover a lot!  See below:

Lets talk about how tacky most of the fabric was!  Whew, so glad I saved these poor chairs.  Then when I took off all the covers, I saw the tag and was so surprised to find out that these chairs were pretty old!  I love when this happens!  The older a piece is, it just seems cooler you know?

I went to the local fabric store a couple times and was not going to settle on a pattern till it just seemed perfect.  My sister Andrea spotted it first, but did not say anything and then I saw it and said that is it!  Good minds think alike.  Below is a close up of the chair pad:

I was very happy with the end result!  Now I have 2 cool and unique chairs to rent out!  I will say probably the hardest thing to do was paint them as the color was so bold I had to be really careful to not get the paint anywhere!  Hope you like them too!
