Trash to treasure no. 2

Ok ok so I have a fetish for re-vamping old furniture lately, and my next project has definately got me excited.  About 2-3weeks ago I went to my local tip shop and found TWO cane chairs! I have been hunting for some of these for ages, thank you Christmas for giving people the need to clean out the old to make room for the new!




So I have not yet had a chance to paint them, however I have bought the paint and ma just waiting for a sunny day and for Harri to sleep for more than an hour and I will be all set.  I have chosen a bright green by Dulux called 'limelight'  it is actually more of a light green.  Oh I am so excited I hope that the image in my head can translate to the chairs, with some white cushions they will look great, definately a fun way to add colour to a room, especially when renting like me. 

I am really into bright colours of late but am a bit reluctant to re -decorate, so this will be the perfect solution, and if they are just too out there I can just paint them white and try again {or leave them white}.


So stay tuned my beautiful crafty bloggers, the fun starts now!

Awesome find Charlotte! Mum and Dad have the exact same chairs at their place. I can't wait to see the finished product. I may be able to talk Mum into revamping hers. I love how creative you are! xx

Great fun. I have a white wicker rocker that I made a cushion for when I was first married. The cover is very worn and needs a new one.
I used a straightedged deep foam so I could using piping on top and bottom.
