My client Joie had two chairs she wasn’t crazy about and was willing to pitch them. I suggested we rework them with paint and linen and voila! They turned out great. Tamara Moore a decorative painter in Houston did the work (Joie has two little ones under two so she doesn’t really have time!) and she did a great job. You can see Tamara’s work at Memorial Antique and Interiors in Houston if you live in the area. If not this is certainly a project you can tackle on your own!
Joie used a linen (elephant gray color) from fabric.com for new cushions and we added extra long ties for a ballerina look from the back!
Pillow from Target!
Good job Joie and Tamara!

I have been searching for a nice charcoal (but lighter) linen. It looks charcoal in the picture. I am going to order a sample. Great post!
WOW! What a transformation! I’m so ashamed, that I can’t even write you back 😉 I swear, one of these days I’m going to get that frame in the mail to you. It’s been sitting by my door for so long, it needs a new gift tag! SO ashamed…..

Beautiful i love how paint changes everything!!
So pretty. Love the ballerina ties and it makes me want to recover a chair sitting in our garage.
Fabulous! I love the new fabric. Looks so comfortable too.
Another reason…why we should recycle, reuse and re-purpose! What a transformation!
Beautiful job. I love it.
Love those ties!! 🙂
What a lovely transformation! Love it! I wish you had more connections in the Dallas area. You always have such great resources. Have a great weekend.
Love, Love, Love the chair it’s beautiful!

Beautiful. And the pillow from Target? Love! You could have told me you sewed that out of $200 fabric and I’d believe you.
Great chairs, but I have a question, what is that yummy font you use to write out “Before” and “After”?
