Happy Wednesday everyone!
It’s themed furniture day.
I have a project for you and so do a few of my friends.
Vintage Vanity Chair with Red and White Damask Seat
The theme this month is “Romantic”.
Each blogger interrupted the theme to suit her style.
Really, can you believe this is the same chair?
I love all the curvy details and the padded seat.
I could see potential.
I’m always drawn to this type of vintage vanity chair.
Don’t know what it is about them?
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!
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.
love the red and white
To stage the photo I laid a pretty little nightie over the back.
My take on the romantic theme……white paint…soft girlie fabric…..and curvy furniture.

LOVE the fabric. I have a chair I am hanging on to so I can cover it in cute fabric. It was my Grandma’s chair and I just couldn’t part with it!
It is wood but after seeing yours, I might distress it white.

Meegan says
Beautiful job, once again Kathy! You are so talented. Pinned and thinking about that lovely pop of red.
No, it does not look like the same chair!!
Alli Cox says
Love the red and love the idea of using old curtains for upholstery!
Cute!
Denise... On a Whim says
I’m not usually a huge fan of red but this is great, just like that red and white painted chest of drawers is, the one I think looks like a toolbox! I guess when you do red, I LIKE IT! 🙂
April says
I have a similar vanity chair but have been unable to remove the cushion! Its screws are buried in deep holes and I can’t get to them! Do you have any tips for me? I love the red fabric and white paint on yours! Makes me really want to do something with mine! Thanks!
Lynn @ Sweet Peas Charm says
Love the chair, Kathy! The red and white is such a beautiful combination!
Therese @ Fresh Idea Studio says
Red is so romantic and I’m in love with your chair redo and can’t get over your fabulous Restore find. The damansk shower curtain is perfect on the chair seat.
Beautiful work, Kathy! I always love to see what you do!
cheers

Love, love, love this! The fabric is fantastic!!
Jen @ Girl in the Garage says
Red is my favorite color so I love what you did with the chair! I sometimes see similar low-back chairs on Craigslist and have wondered how they would look refinished. I also like the added touch with the nightie. 😉
Ms. Mike says
I did as you asked and visited all the sites and it was never more obvious that all of you like to distress your furniture. I especially liked the bench that Therese refinished. Quite a stylish piece. I’m always impressed with the work that all of the bloggers I follow accomplish. I love your little vanity chair, but the fabric was too bold and the print too large for my taste for such a dainty chair. But, then again, I’m all for French style furniture and am jealous that I no longer have the room to re-do furniture. Have a great day.
Nancy @ Artsy Chicks Rule says
Very pretty Kathy! I am loving that red and white combo too!!
