Got a new chair. Well, maybe not new but you know what I mean. It's the best kind of chair it's one I can be creative with. This chair was given to me by my friend Joy. Joy is the best kind of friend too because she gives me her hand me downs. Kind of like having the sister that I never had. Thanks Joy.
When she dropped it off she said, You aren't gonna paint it white are you? I believe she knew the answer to that before she voiced the thought.
So, I've been thinkin' and thinkin' about this chair. Finally Monday I decided to make a move. Went to the "Interior Alternative" fabric outlet. Walked in the door and right there in front was a big table with fabric remnants on it. This flowered fabric was the first piece I picked up and after browsing the whole store it was still the one I liked best. Found a cute little plaid to use for the cording. All this for about $30.00. I was thrilled at how well the green background of the fabric matched the green leaves in the carpet in the livingroom. Everything in this house from carpets to wallpaper is patterned so I thought Why not throw in another pattern! Can't help myself, I love roses.
Now is probably a good time to say, I have never covered a chair before. I'll take all the hints you can send my way. Thanks and cross your fingers for me. I'm hoping to take the chair apart this weekend. Oh Yes, and then I'll paint the chair white.
