It’s time for Project Design again! This time we are taking on the task of repurposing a Craig’s List or Thrift Store chair in “Exceptionally Clever Chair Makeovers”
Im a firm believer in letting neutrals reign in a room, preferring to add color and pattern in pillows and accessories that can be easily and inexpensively changed. However choosing a single high-impact chair in an strategic spot can create drama and fun. Taking a Craigs List or flea market chair and reupholstering or slip covering it in an unexpected hue or pattern can add pizazz to an otherwiese neutral space.
Of course I am always partial to something that looks a little “rough luxe”
Using a vintage textile gives a chair a little more character.
Love the back detail of this one!
I would love to cover a chair with vintage indigo like this.
I still love a chair upholstered in the Suzanne Rheinstein Indian Zag.
A chair in vintage african mudcloth would look fabulous in a modern or more traditional setting.

This chair demands attention courtesy of a graphic print and a little gold spray paint.
Some may prefer something a little more fun…
Love this crazy chair from 1st Dibs upholstered in a MLB’s Lola Diamond fabric
You can probably guess my chairs might look a little more conservative…something more like this.
Be sure and stop back by on Friday to see what these fabulous designers have done with their chairs. I know you won’t be disappointed!

This is my favorite series. Can't wait to see what the talented folks have done. I love some of your examples. At least one instantly conjured up a King Tut thought, can you guess which one? 🙂
xo,
Karen
