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! :)

Your chair turned out AWESOME!!! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteLove 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!
ReplyDeleteVery 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.

ReplyDeleteA fantastic job on your chair, great repurposing of the dress. Thanks for visiting my blog.
