No problem, PAINT it!! This is the chair before I started. It wasn’t bad but I was not a fan of brown color especially since my home is more in the black/white tones with wood accents… The fabric is very smooth. I don’t think the result would have been as great if it was a more “hairy” fabric. So think about that before you decide to paint your chairs. I think it works best with silk or sating type of material versus velvet or wool. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f08c972c43be871a4933b8f/1596593089999-4JFBCCL7TZVDYE3E4MSK/fabric+painted.png Blog - Don’t feel like reupholstering a chair?

I used the 2 inch ones for larger surfaces and smaller ones for the details Flat brush https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f08c972c43be871a4933b8f/1596597425338-HMY0YWEVCYS6RKCU8N40/Berh+marquee+paint.png Blog - Don’t feel like reupholstering a chair?

Ultra pure white- eggshell finish https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f08c972c43be871a4933b8f/1596593501476-24EIBA2Z9XVX1P9NSRS0/finished+chairs.jpg Blog - Don’t feel like reupholstering a chair? No problem, PAINT it!! Voilà! I LOVE the result. I decided to not cake on the paint so you can see the striped material coming through from underneath. It’s not perfectly painted either. It gives it a little more interest and “grungy” look. The paint is starch white and flat. It really made the chairs look more like art pieces than chairs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f08c972c43be871a4933b8f/1596596978406-UR0DVNE1V109VQGLI6UV/sandpaper+block+%23120.png Blog - Don’t feel like reupholstering a chair?

Sandpaper block #120 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f08c972c43be871a4933b8f/1596591906872-JR0C5U4B0EY5Y04PW35X/stripped+paint+chair.JPG Blog - Don’t feel like reupholstering a chair? No problem, PAINT it!! Next I stripped the old paint with a sand paper. It was a really rough job. My arms hurt for days after. I should have used my sander instead. I remember back in the days when I lived in LA, my friend and I painted these same chairs black for her (Later on she gifted them to me once we both moved to NY). We had done a crummy paint job so I needed to strip it all off. I have to say, I REALLY liked the half stripped and bare wood look. If I in a few months feel like changing things up again, I might sandpaper the paint off the wood parts of the chair again (this time I will use my power sander for the large areas) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f08c972c43be871a4933b8f/1596596732648-OPVO203H8OIWDV3PJW16/sand+paper+block+80.png Blog - Don’t feel like reupholstering a chair?
