Guest Room chair

The only other project I completed in the guest room before my brother arrived was making over an ugly little chair I found at a thrift store. The bed takes up most of the room but I wanted to squeeze in a small chair for clothes or other things that guests might not want to just chuck on the floor.

I liked the chair's size and style but it was a bit old and smelly.





I wont bore you with all the steps but basically I unscrewed the seat, wiped down the wood frame and spray painted it, and then recovered the seat and screwed it back on. Originally I had planned on doing a more structured seat with piping (like the original) but at the last minute I got lazy and just did one solid piece of fabric. Now that I think about it I doubt I would have been able to make the piping look good so its probably a good thing I got lazy!

I wanted to incorporate some blue and green into the room to bring some pizazz to the dark brown duvet cover so I chose a fabric first and then picked a spray paint to match.



How cute is that?





Its a bit loud and bright but I think it will blend in just fine when there's some art on the walls.

I even had enough fabric left over to make a pillow for the bed!



(How many pillows on a bed is too many?!)
