In the mooood...

I am joining in on the party at Kimbas@SoftPlacetoLand DIY day!

I want to show you all a tutorial on a chair re-upholstery I did for a client, but with trying to get ready for a garage sale, painting our house and moving in the next couple of weeks...it will have to wait.

This chair was a lot of fun to do.  The client wanted something fun and funky to put into her son's room, but still have a sophisticated look if she needed to pull it out in her family room.  Her choice of fabric...an animal print. 

The great thing about doing Interior Design is getting to work with so many different kinds of styles. Having the ability to envision design in my head before it is even done, I could see that it would look great on this contemporary chair.   We chose a cow print that had darker browns and creams with a sophisticated look.  Her home has a lot of the same colors and a rustic, contemporary feel.



As I worked on the chair and could see it come together, I enjoyed seeing this fun fabric on this chair. It really looked great!  We did a micro fabric that would be easy to clean being that it would be in her son's room.  This fabric is so soft and comfortable to sit on.



The best part of transforming this chair...seeing how happy my client was.  She loved it!  It went from blasé' basic cream to fun and funky cow print...so are you in the mooood for a chair transformation?

Finished and looking great in the clients home!

Before...blase' and basic.

After...fun and funky!

Before...*yawn*

Amazing what color and fabric can do!

 

So what do you think?
  Would you want a little fun chair like this in your home? 

I will show a tutorial on how I upholstered this, hopefully in the next week.  Need to get back to work!!  So much to do...so little time!
