Redo! Table Chair

I have had this chair at my kitchen table for quite a few years now and decided it needed a quick little revamp and pop of color! While I loved the natural wood finish when I first bought the chair, I also love to paint any and every paintable surface in my home! 

This project took me less then 30 minutes to complete and offers a totally different look. All you need is...

- 1 can of spray paint of any color (I used an emerald green with a glossy finish) 

- 1 yard of a fabric of your choice

- Hot glue gun with glue sticks *or* a staple gun

- Drop cloth or a surface you don't mind getting paint on

- *Optional* Sand paper/sanding block

- *Optional* Screwdriver (to remove seat cushion) 

- Iron

Painting your chair: 

Step one: Remove set cushion from your chair. (Some may be screwed into place)

Step two: *Optional* If your chair has an extremely glossy surface, you may need to sand it down to help the paint adhere easier to the chair. 

Step two: Lay down your drop cloth outside or in a well ventilated area (if you choose to do this indoors, spray paint tends to leave residue on surrounding objects)

Step Three: Start spray painting your chair, covering everything with a nice even coat and let dry.

Step Four: After the first layer has dried, you may need to go back with another layer or just touch up some areas depending on your paint. 

Step Five: *Optional* If you want your chair to have a shabby chic/vintage look, take your sand paper and go over all the edges of the chair and  wherever it would naturally show wear over time.

Covering your chair cushion: 

This can be done while your first layer of paint is drying on your chair!

Step one: Remove old chair cover. 

Step Two: Lay your fabric out flat face down with the chair cushion face down on top of it. Measure and draw out a 3 inch border (depending on the thickness of your chair, mine was 1 1/2 inches thick) around the cushion and cut. 

Step three: Fold over all edges of your fabric a half inch and Iron into place.

Step four: Place fabric face down with chair cushion in place on top. Take your hot glue gun or staple gun and pull fabric tightly around the edge of your cushion and secure in place all around with your glue of staples. 

Step five: Re-attach your cushion to your chair and enjoy!
