Painted Chair: Before & After

Everyone loves a good before & after transformation.  Painted furniture is very trendy right now.  You can transform a mid-century piece into a glossy, chic bombshell – or transform a more ornate piece into a shabby, vintage dream.

Here is a chair that I recently purchased from VR Furniture in Norfolk.  I love all of the detail, not only in the back of the chair, but also in the turned arm rests and legs.


I simply removed the cushion, sanded the beauty down, added a few coats of high gloss grey [Sherwin Williams Dovetail, to be exact], removed the fabric from the seat, and stapled on the new yellow & white damask pattern.


There are so many things that could have been done with the chair, but I loved the subtle grey with the clean pop of yellow fabric – especially to be worked in with this beautiful display!


Here are some other amazing rooms with painted furniture…






I love the idea of “Designing with what you already have”!  So – are there some furniture pieces you have that could be transformed with a pop of color?  Or could your current sofa and rug be updated with a new painted side table?!  I’d love to help with the transformation!
