great chair makeover-part 2

A few weeks back I posted {here} about this chair.

A quick recap for those of you who didn't read that post.  I bought the chair at our city-wide rummage sale for $1.50. 

Good deal, huh?

 

I reupholstered it using some Michale Miller laminated damask print cotton that I just so happened to have on hand.  I chose to use the laminated cotton because I have little messy hands in my home and it'll be easy to wipe clean.  I also used some left over spray paint from a previous project so this whole makeover really only cost me only $1.50.

So much nicer!  You'd never know this baby cost me $1.50!

Nevermind the partially painted wood baseboards.  We're in the process of replacing them!

Did you know...

that you can basically spray paint anything?  Seriously.  Of course, I haven't tried to spray paint every single item in or around my home but you get my point.  Surprisingly, I never thought to spray paint fabric.  I have painted fabric with a sponge and paint but I have never spray painted it.  So when I came across this tutorial on how to make yourself an easy pillow using spray paint, I knew I had to try it.

I just used some leftover fabric from some curtain panels I made and some spray paint I happened to have on hand to try it out.  Now that I know it works and looks good, I will be making a pillow that actually matches my living room.  Check out the rest of v & co.'s tutorials.  She is one crafty lady.
