Finally...a little DIY project....White dining chairs with navy trellis fabric!




I've had these chairs sitting in our garage FOREVER. 

They were $2 each at my local thrift store....yes, you read that right...$2 !

A few coats of white semi-gloss, and some new seat fabric, and they're as good as new!






I decided that I wanted to add some navy blue to our home....something a little bit dramatic in the middle of all the pale, calming colours :)

I found this P. Kaufmann "Slick" indoor/outdoor fabric on Amazon, and I LOVE it!






It's a really heavy canvas-type material that I'm hoping will hold up a little better than the Kelly Wearstler linen "Imperial Trellis" fabric I almost bought. With two small boys around, I don't want to have to worry about it at all. The best part is that this fabric is only $22/yard (a heck of a lot less than the coveted Kelly Wearstler stuff.....as lovely as it is!). So, if and when the stains happen, I can just grab my trusty staple gun and add another layer of fabric on top :)



I had some help from my talented friend, Astrid, which made the job a lot more enjoyable :)

This girl can do anything. I'm not even kidding you....she literally knows how to do everything. Check out her jewelry here and her blog here.






Absolutely NOT loving my hideous glass-top table with these chairs....so I'm on the hunt for a new wood table. I'll keep you posted!





But....even with the ugly table, I'm excited to have something new to look at. As always.




I hope you're enjoying these last few weeks of summer!!!

  1. They look amazing! Love the fabric choice too, nicer than the Wearstler prints, will be easier to clean. As for the price of those chairs - score! I just scored a French provincial shaped dresser for $45! Hardly used, the drawers look like new. Can't wait to sand and paint!

  5. I LOVE the white chairs! I'm planning on painting mine in the Fall, once I've made the trip out to buy some Annie Sloan chalk paint, (as it's the only kind I think I want to use on these), as they're antiques.....you've inspired me to get a move on!

  21. These seats are intended to improve stance and ease the heat off your back and bears, giving you a progressively loosened up seating position. In the event that you think they look cumbersome, reconsider, most ergonomic seats today are intended to overlap with the goal that they can be put away in an upstanding or level position.
