I knew I had to recover it, although the green was sort of nice.
I removed the cushion:
I decided to run the stripes diagonally. For fun!
So I pulled and stapled and pulled:
But wait, there's more!
Today, at the lumber store, I bought a sample pot of paint. I taped the legs off and painted.
I thought for sure it would bleed, but it didn't!
Here's the chair, after a spray coat of poly on the legs:
Which really helps in a house full of dirty laundry, Legos and weird, tiny pieces of confetti-like paper that hide in all the nooks and crannies as though my hallways were on some magical fairy parade route.

This is too cute - using the paint on the ends of the legs is a great idea!

What taste in color you have! I always feel like the more the merrier too. You gave that chair a nice lease on life. Great job!
Hehe. Like socks for your chair. It's fresh and fun and I love it. Thanks for sharing on BeColorful

Very cute! I love the way you made the stripes go diagonal, what a great idea!
I found you on "Home Stories A to Z"

What a fun idea. I wish I had the creative mind like so many I know. Perhaps I need to start going to thrift stores and yard sales with my friends more often so I can see the masters at work. :)
This chair is the cutest! But i am even more obsessed with your painted cabinets! Going to search your blog to find those right now!
Thanks for the inspiriation!

I love chair re-dos! looks so peppy :)
Very cute & colourful :-) I like that you used the striped fabric on the diagonal - it adds some character and whimsy to your chair, as do the two blue legs :-)
