To remind you what the original chair looked like.....

Luckily I managed to find some pots of paint in our shed left behind by the previous owners, so I just painted one coat of this ochre colour - kind of a light grey / green - and then I gave it a rub with sandpaper in a few areas to give it the good old 'shabby chic' look! For the seat cover, I had a batch of Ian Mankin fabric samples knocking around that I knew I'd find a use for one day, and I just stitched them all together on the machine and re-covered the seat with it! Voila!
I think I've definitely found a new passion, it is so satisfying bringing something back to life!

Amazing - very clever indeed, well done! xx
I love giving a new life to something old... you have done a fantastic job caroline!! Well done!!
You make it sounds so easy! I'm a complete hack with a needle and thread and even more so on a machine. It looks great, though I think I still favour the first chair by a bit.
I love it! I bet it looks good next to the Kidston one too! I lovethe idea of mismatched ones, but kind of matching!I prefer this one I think.
hermoso tu trabajo!!!!.
cariños.
