Vanity Stool Makeover Before And After
As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
I have a thing for vintage vanity stools and chairs. I especially like this vanity chair because it has arms.
I painted and replaced the fabric on the junk store find. The fabric choice was interesting. Not because of the color or design, although it’s really pretty, but because of where I got the fabric.
It’s themed furniture day and that means my furniture friends have projects too. Links at the bottom of the post.
Vintage Vanity Chair
Each month we have a theme to go by for the makeover and this month’s theme is “Romantic”. Each blogger interrupts the theme to suit her style.
The chair was a little blah. No color at all. I love all the curvy details and the padded seat. I could see potential.
The red and white damask fabric is actually a curtain panel. I purchased a pair of them at the local Habitat Restore ages ago. The curtains were a little frayed and worn but damask print happens to be one of my all time favorite prints.
The red is what I would call a lipstick red…..red leaning toward pink, not orange. Do ya’ll know what I mean?
It’s really easy to cover a chair seat….cut the fabric a little larger than the seat……staple the two opposing sides first, pulling the fabric tight….finish the other two sides and corners. The corners are the hardest. Usually I can work out the folds in the corners. It helps if the fabric is on the thin side.
I love the red and white. Think outside the box when looking for fabric. A nice curtain panel, shower curtain, even old clothes can be used for chair covers.
The paint color is off-white from Beyond Paint which is a 3 in 1 primer, paint, and sealer. The sheen of this paint is perfect, between flat and satin. I did a light distressing job on the paint.
My take on the romantic theme……white paint…soft girly fabric…..and curvy furniture.
