Raspberry Side Chair

Here is a project I did a couple of months ago that I thought I'd share.  It's a side chair that I painted in a raspberry color and recovered the seat with something bright and fun.

It's so funny now my projects fit my mood of the day.  I'm so glad I don't keep everything I redo, otherwise my house would be funky and not just eclectic.  When you live in a city where things are not always bright and sunny your mood can change from sunny to dark instantaneously.  The way I look at it, living in a place like Cincinnati just helps give my customers variety.

Here is the  chair before, It was okay, but not terrific.  I had it sitting in my formal living room until I could figure out what to do with it.



Here is the frame after a few coats of raspberry spray paint

Here is the fabric I chose to put on the seat

Isn't it fun?  What girl wouldn't want a girl power chair?  I think it would look really cute sitting on a front porch as well.  Why not? Have some fun.


If you have not done so add your link to our Sunday Showoff Party going on until Thursday.

  6. Totally fun but then again I like that funky unexpected look. So did you keep it and put it back in the living room or where did she end up?
    Thanks for sharing her on Motivated Monday at BeColorful

  9. This is a beautiful chair! My daughter just had a birthday and wanted pink everything. I bought some food coloring hoping to get that shade for her cupcakes. Instead I got fluorescent pink! Oh well, pink is pink! :)
