Continuing my daughter's bedroom makeover, it was time to hunt down a desk chair. We had already found a vanity/desk with great lines and we wanted something equally as wonderful for a desk chair.
Our hunt ended at the flea market where we picked up this chair for a song. It was in need of some TLC.
After some sanding I primed the chair to get it ready for the High Gloss Lilac paint.
The unexpected would make this chair fantastic. Glossy Lilac, who would have thought?
On went the layers of paint. One coat after another..........
Once I finished painting the chair I turned to re-upholstering the seat. It was an old chair and the foam inside the cushion proved that. I replaced the foam and covered it with new batting.
As if the bold lilac color wasn't enough of a surprise .....I decided to cover it in white fur.
A fun and funky twist sure to make this traditional Chippendale style chair perfect for a tween room!
TA-DA here it is complete and sitting at her new desk!
Fur-A-Licious Baby!
Do you think this will make her want to do her homework?

She will probably lay on her bed to do her homework but that doesn't take anything away from the chair. It is outrageously fun.

Would have never thought to put fur on a chair seat. Love it! I redo a lot of chairs...I'll be trying that one. The color is perfect too for a tween girly. That is sure glossy paint.
ReplyDeleteAwesome.....great and funky re-do!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice for both the paint and seat, bet your daughter is thrilled!!!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for happy homework inspiration!
I loved this post. Transformation is the name of the game. I found you through English Cottage in Georgia. I'm glad I stopped by. Your chair is amazing. The high gloss lilac color actually helps the elegance of shape of the chair to stand up and be noticed. And the furry white seat... nice girly touch! My signature colors in my shop are lavender and olive green together. This would fit perfectly at my office desk! I'll be back. Hugs, Penny Sue
ReplyDeleteA chair with a flair! Wonderful, fun, upscale and just a dash of whimsy! Great post!
