I bought an old bench at GW for a few dollars the other day. I had visions of painting it in checks and recovering the cushions in a funky, bright and cheery fabric, but this is how it turned out!
I sanded it and spray painted the old wooden frame in a glossy black:
Then I recovered the seat in a beautiful fabric from Hobby Lobby. I also added some gold fringe to three edges:
Because I wanted to sell it on CraigsList, I decided to keep it traditional, rather than "wild".
This was a quick and easy makeover!
And I am happy to say it sold on CraigsList in less than 24 hours!

ReplyDeleteand on the candlesticks...love them.
I would love to see how the buyer displays it. Do they ever send you photos? Love it!!
ReplyDeleteLove it, Patti! Love the fringe you added to the seat. I think it adds a little whimsy while keep the look traditional.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your redo of this beautiful chair...I remember these chairs as "Places of Beauty" from the furniture of the 40s...I had my parents set from when they married in 1947 and it had a mirrored make-up desk/type bureau(I don't know WHAT THEY CALLED THEM, but every bedroom set had one), AND they all had one of these chairs...I didn't appreciate it then! BUT NOW I'm going to have to add one to my wish list. I LOVE bring it back. Thank you for the idea!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week,
Hugs,

I just love this - beautiful job!!!
ReplyDeleteThis stool looks great and I so wish Craigslist was as popular here to sell my stuff when it doesn't move fast enough at the antique mall. I liked your MC pillow too!
