You can’t had that ugly under fabric.

I think the original chair was quite lovely actually. What a nice rich brown, and the contrast with the lighter brown back is lovely. And the bright white cushion as further contrast. It was elegant.

the chair was just so bulky with the arms on it. so i took them off and now i have a chair a little more dainty. the fabric is by no means designer. it is from amsterdam recycled from a duvet/quilt around the 1970′s. you can find it here:

the fabric is thin but still works great. katrinakaye is lovely to work with too. thank you everyone for your nice words and encouragement! i am definitely inspired to do more!

I don’t know if it’s just me, but is anyone else getting a bit bored with the very similar looking before and afters. It’s always the same painted chair, with the same looking designer fabric.

Don’t get me wrong, I like this chair. Yet haven’t I seen this chair yesterday, and one the day before that, and yet another the day before that? These projects are nice, and if that’s all we’re looking for, then great. But I keep hoping to see something a bit more revolutionary, more creative, more inspired. Something new, something…a little more innovative?

Is it just me?

I’m considering reupholstering some chairs and I’d like to know more about the fabric — what is it/where’d you buy it/etc.

Ooo, good catch, Angela? Where DID the arms go?

I think I like it better armless, both Before and After. I think the After is really nice, although I think the Before wasn’t so bad either.
