I found this chair at a local thrift store for $4. I loved the look of the back and it just screamed "potential", I had to take her home with me...
I spray painted it, did some applique on the Amy Butler fabric I found at
Harmony (Thank you Laura for your input, the fabric worked perfectly!). After adding a pom-pom trim, it was done!
Tada!
The fabric I bought was Amy Butler's home decorating weight fabric and I happened to have fabric from the same line(this one is regular weight). I decided to applique some flowers to add more personality to the chair.
Doing some free motion stitches on the flowers is very fun. I just followed the design that already existed on the fabric.
I was very tempted to do a totally different color scheme this time, but since my house has lots of white with some light blues I decided to stick to the theme. So when I gather them up, there will be a calm and nice harmony that I love.
I have been busy preparing for our special Christmas Eve dinner, so I need to get back to the kitchen right now. I will talk to you really soon everyone!
its fantastic, a fabulous make over!
