The greenish-yellow velvet is just screaming to be removed.... Ive heard the closet is the best place to look for inspiration......so...........i pulled out this June Cleeverish dress that i hadnt worn in quite awhile.......
Im probably one of the minority that hates the gun attachment thingie. So i usually end up with this....................
Once the paint was dry, i went to work with my trusty staple gun. Lately that thing has really been gettin a workout. So now im in love with a chair aswell as a table .............lol
Isn't she gorgeous! So whatever designer it was that said "look to ur closet for inspiration" was a genius in my book. So ladies never throw out ur old dresses, donate them to a well-deserving chair. Polly Vue bloggies!

I LOVE that! I have a chair similar to that and have been wondering what to do with it. Now I know! Look in my closet! :)
Visiting from Amaze me Monday!
Your chair turned out AWESOME!!! Great job!!
Love how you recovered the chair seat with the dress. I even like the seams. I wouldn't have thought I would like it but it looks good like you sewed it up that way intentionally. Great makeover!
Very Clever,Try that with old fur coats sometime. I have pillow shams just like the ones on your bed with the cherub. Thanks for sharing. Richard at My Old Historic House.
OOOOO!! I love it. Your chair looks good in that dress LOL... well done girl.
A fantastic job on your chair, great repurposing of the dress. Thanks for visiting my blog.
One of the best-dressed chairs in the neighborhood, I'm sure. The dress was so small that I'm amazed you had enough material to accomplish the job. :)

OHMYGOSH!! I love the chair...classic in black and white ~ and timeless!
How did I miss this one. I came looking for any new postings and I'm never disappointed to find something I love. Furniture just looks better painted white doesn't it!!! I love the way you used the dress and the touches of black in your room are wonderful. Such talent!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love the chair you did a fantastic job and the pink chandelier is to die for.
