{ Chairs }

if you have chairs like these, like my client has

{that may be you inherited from Grandmom} 

~ here's an easy way to update them ~

   

        

start with some yummy fabric like this one from Robert Allen

   

      

gather your tools

{staple gun, scissors, drill, bits}

   

   

you'll most likely need this funky little number if they're "mature"

   

   

flip those ladies over and unscrew the screw from each corner

      

      

wrap them like a present

{don't forget to put the side you want to show facing down}

      

   

keep the chairs in order, so the seat you took off goes back to the same base it came from

{you never know, they may not match up perfectly}

   

      

wait, did you see those sconces?

here's another glimpse

   

   

and with the lights on ~
gorgie!

   

see that striped ceiling?

l o v e 

   

   

anywho ~ here's what you'll wind up with
   

   

ta da, much better
If you really want a change, spray paint the base once you removed the cushion.  I would have loved to do that here, but it would have been way too funky/modern for this family.

we also hung some woven wood roman shades above the giant window
       

   
and added some antiquing glaze to the built-in china cabinets
     

 
these guys
{which will have mirrored backs next time you see them}
   

    
I'm dying to use this mirror in this room

But, I think I scared the crap out of my client when I emailed it to her. lol
I'll find somewhere to put it
{Hopefully it'll wind up in a garage reno I'm working on for another client ~ I'll keep you posted}
and I'd like to MAKE on for myself for the 
Powder Room
