Beautiful Blue Chairs

Happy Saturday everyone! When I picked up this pair of chairs, the finish was poor and they had cracked cane seats. I really liked the scale of them and how skinny the spindles were, so I knew they were a good candidate for a re-do. I painted them in Benjamin Moor Advance Satin Marine blue, applied some upholstery webbing over the cane just for extra support, and padded them with batting. Then I used bold fabric from Premier Prints over the batting, and trimmed it out with white trim tape.

This pretty pair of chairs is now available in my shop. I can picture them at a little cafe table in the corner of an apartment. Have a great weekend!

    1. Thanks! I just linked up. The paint color is even better in person. It can be very dark or a bit lighter depending on the light in the room. I used it on a dresser that's on my shop page too. I highly recommend it!

  6. So cute. Loving the color ... I have a similar color paint that I've been debating putting on a couple of little chairs I'm making over for my nieces. Now I may need to just pull the trigger!
