One of my friends was looking at my blog the other day & said "where's your funky zebra chair?" I did this chair almost a year ago, in fact it was my first chair that I ever did. I wasn't going to put it on my blog since I didn't take a before picture but my friend convinced me that I should anyway. Anyway......I had been seeing a lot of cool animal print chairs & wanted one but they were always too expensive. So since I'm cheap I decided that I would just have to make one. I found a chair at a local thrift shop & then hunted for some fabric that I liked. The chair screamed the 80's--it was a honey gold oak color with a nasty gold & orange print fabric. It was ugly. First I painted the chair black, beat it up a little bit-(always fun:) and then re-covered it. Wasn't too hard- I just used my handy-dandy staple gun.
I still like this chair a lot...it appeals to my "wild side" :)
Hey Katie love this chair, it turned out great! Trying to redo two chairs right now (My first time) hope they look as nice as yours does :D

I love it! I really want to try my hand at redoing a furniture piece, but I *really* don't have the space now that there are baby toys everywhere, lol!

That's a great chair and even better print! You did a great job recovering it as well. The description of the before sounds hideous lol
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous! I love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe this chair was ever ugly! You did a wonderful job. I would describe it as chic instead of funky! I just put a zebra cushion on my wicker chair in my office and I love it! :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous job! I love touches of animal print in my home too! XO, pinky
ReplyDeletethat is so cool
