Reupholstered Striped Chair Before and After
Now that we are doing my daughter’s big girl room (reveal soon!), I wanted to give you a sneak peek at the little chair we are going to be putting in her little “reading nook.” I love this striped Cabbages and Roses fabric.  The next time we go visit my hubby’s relative’s I would love  to go into the actual Cabbages & Rose’s store. It’s so beautiful and serene looking on-line.  The pattern is called Bunty Stripe. It’s a beautiful variegated navy blue stripe on grey linen. *sigh* I love linen. It’s perfect for a reupholstered striped chair before and after.

Remember the before pic? It was a cute, little chair, it just didn’t go with anything in my house, least of all the idea I have brewing for my daughter’s room. I painted the wood white. I wasn’t sure if I was going to at first, but then I knew that it would make the pattern pop. Â I think it turned out so cute!
after
Whether to line up the stripes or not was my big dilemma… I decided that since I wasn’t exactly an expert upholsterer; that I wouldn’t worry about trying to make them match exactly. It looks so pretty it doesn’t matter any way.
I edged it in  a lightly frayed grey woven trim.  I think it looks  a bit less formal than regular trim, and am so happy with how it turned out! I can’t wait to finish the rest of the room to show you how the chair looks in it!
I’m really excited to put this in the kids rooms and have spot for them to read books. You can see the final room reveal here.

Hi Jenn:
I love your chair makeover. It’s going to be beautiful in your daughter’s room. (Can’t wait for the big reveal!)
Thanks for the Cabbage & Roses info, too. I’ll be looking for its debut in our LQS.
Happy Days,
xoxo

It turned out beautifully. That is wonderful news about Cabbages And Roses! I will look forward to them arriving in the U.S. ox
I love your gorgeous chair and the fabulous fabric! I hope Cabbage and Roses can also come to Canada, but in the meantime, I have lots of family and friends in the UK who I can bug to buy for me!
I was also thinking that, if it were my chair, I *might* grab a rag, with a teeny dab of silver paint and just lightly drag it over the white….just an idea, it’s gorgeous as is 😉
What a transformation!! I rather like that the stripes don’t match up. Makes the chair more casual, more fun and perfect for a growing up young lady!
Wow, what a difference. It looks great !!! Where did you learn to reupholster?
Oh that is gorgeous fabric. I have admired the Cabbage and Roses florals before, but I’m really loving the stripes. Your chair turned out really well.
that chair would go great in my kitchen area or bedroom
love it painted white and the blue&white fabric
