Reveal of the Longest Upholstery Project In History
After about a million ideas for paint colors and fabrics, here they are:
In case you somehow missed all the prior posts about these chairs, I I started here:
and in the end decided to not use any paint at all, leaving the wood as is and to go with this fabric:
I just love how they turned out! They’re neutral enough that I have options for using them in other rooms and different pillows to change them up now and then. (All of you who change your decor as much as I do know how important that is!)
I didn’t end up taking the settee in yet but that’s next so stay tuned.
I’ll say it again: reupholstering is so much fun!

They are gorgeous. You chose the perfect fabric to update the wood frames. It makes your chairs modern, instead of stuffy. Well done!
So beautiful and definitely very versatile! I could see that pair of chairs in any space. Great fabric choice!
Very funky! A great choice. xx

Just right! I appreciate you didn’t paint the frames and love the fabric, a really nice mix! This reminds me however, I talked about a similar chair redo over a year ago and it still sits in my garage! Time to get moving…Janell

You picked the right fabric!! So glad you didn’t end up painting the frames too. They look great. I know it must have been like Christmas morning when you got to see them again.

Perhaps so… but it was worth the wait – they look stunning. I am so glad you did not paint them. Instead the fabric gave the wood new life and a purpose!

I’m glad you decided not to paint the frames! The fabric looks great with them, just the boost they needed. It’s a proof for me that sometimes we just need time to let the ideas cook…
The chairs turned out so great!!! I have a chair that needs to be reupholstered and cannot decide what I want to do with it yet. I really need to make a decision and get moving on it!

Excellent outcome! Great fresh look – you should be proud of your hard work.
Well I can’t take credit for the work but choosing the materials was really hard!
