Lori's Arm Chair Makeover

While I'm STILL finishing up Jay's kitchen,

I thought I'd quickly post this chair makeover I just completed Sunday.

 My client, Lori, wanted me to "fun up" this ho hum chair.

 The undressing begins......

I'm painting the frame in a homemade chalk paint 

I made using Benjamin Moore "Pale Oak."

After it dried, I waxed and buffed.

 I lightly distressed the edges and added dark wax in all the grooves to age.

Then I beefed up everything with fresh batting,

and the reupholstery begins.

I'm using this cream and blue striped ticking

I purchased on Decor Steals.

 For the back, 

I'm using a remnant of this batik style fabric I purchased from UFab.

Final details: Dust cover, gimp....

 

And it's all done.

Front...

 Back.

 

I added nailheads to secure the edges.

 

I made a little pillow with more remnants...

Thank you Lori!
