project: chairs

{one of my makeovers}

I think that one of the easiest and yet very effective DIYs are chairs. Starting with some paint and fabric and going from there the chair can be transformed to suit any decor. These bloggers here have done an amazing job rescuing their seats and they are all beautiful. Pull up a chair and check out these:

Refresheddesigns: Ikea wallpapered chair tutorial - and it's gorgeous!

Love Your Room: my morning slip cover chair project using remnant fabric - no sewing

Ms. Magpie Designs: trendy Tuesday – dipped legs - inspiration for some DIY

Little Miss Penny Wenny: chevron chair - painted silver metallic too

Decor Allure: from shabby to chic! - with French script fabric

My House of Giggles: tufted wing chair makeover - painting upholstery

Everyday Originals: cane chair makeover - painted black and gorgeous fabric
