Do you have a chair in great shape, but you hate the upholstery? Or, have you passed by perfectly good chairs at a yard sale or thrift store because you didn’t like the upholstery?
It’s an easy fix! Paint it!!! And, It’s much less expensive than having the chair recovered. And, when done properly, it will be soft and supple just like fabric.

I found this chair at a local thrift store. It was in perfect condition, but the fabric was dated and the seat was faded. And, the best part, it only cost $7.50!

I started by misting the fabric with water. This will help the fabric accept the paint. A spray bottle from the dollar store works perfectly.

I chose the color, Gravel Road, from The Dixie Belle Paint Company. It’s a deep, rich gray.
