Would you believe me if I told you my craft room is finished? You probably don’t even remember that I was in the midst of making my own craft room, do you? I mean, gosh, it was only back in July that I started transforming my formal living room into my creative space! I still have a few decorative touches to add before I reveal the entire space, but I do want to show you my sewing area.
My very own sewing space! Yippee! Now let me show you my chair transformation.
I bought this chair from Goodwill for just $7.99. What drew me to this piece was the caning and the fact that it was in perfect condition! But, even though it was in perfect condition doesn’t mean I’m goinog to leave it alone!
I primed it and painted two coats of Olympic Heavy Cream.
I pulled out my handy-dandy sand paper and scuffed it up.
I used the same toille fabric that I used in the rest of the room to cover the seat. First, measure and cut the fabric to fit the seat.
Then, pulling tightly, secure the fabric to the bottom of the seat using a staple gun.
Excuse the paint dust! I still wasn’t satisfied. It needed a little something else.
So I pulled out my Americana Blue Mist acrylic paint. . .
and painted the caning on the chair.
It added just a little something more.
I love it!
Now if I can convince my mom to let me paint the desk {my new sewing table} she gave me. I think it belonged to my great-grandmother???
More projects from and the big reveal of the craft room coming soon!
{P.S. Because I know I’ll be asked, the fabric is from Hobby Lobby!}
Linking up here:
Very pretty! You did an excellent job. Painting the caning was the perfect touch!
Great job on the chair & I can't wait to see the rest of your craft room! Glad I found your site!
I LOVE IT!!
It's beautiful.

I'm going to have to find a local Goodwill store! What a find!!! Great job on the rehab of a beautiful chair.
Please don't paint that beautiful wood desk… strip it and then stain it a light stain. Wood has such beautiful lines and textures. When you paint something like that it looses its individuality and becomes just another piece of furniture…
The chair is very pretty..
I love the chair, fabric, and accent paint! So pretty! I too have several pieces that I am scared to paint b/c I'm afraid my mom will get mad! I also worry that I will regret painting an heirloom piece.
I love the chair and wish I could get my sewing/craft room organized/fixed up! I love finding other people's heirlooms so I can paint them without regret or guilt!
love how the chair came out. I bet the desk would look gorgeous painted!
It turned out fabulous, great job! I love it. I also love your sewing table! It looks gorgeous as is.
although I'm sure I'd love what you do if you paint it too.
wow, it looks amazing you did a fab job, good find xxx
Love love love it! That chair is fabulous!
LOVE that fabric. In fact, I love the entire chair!
Visiting from Somewhat Simple. Following you now.
The chair is gorgeous! About your little desk – isn't it funny we have to check with our mothers about painting family furniture? I had to get "permission" from my mother to paint the hutch she gave me that was purchased when I was an infant!
Nice makeover. I like the blue on the cane.
The chair is beautiful; however, I'd leave the sewing table, as is. It's gorgeous next to the newly refinished chair…especially with the dark suitcase next to the desk on the floor. Awesome!
How cute! And now every time you use it you will smile!!
Gorgeous~ I love this it turned out wonderful- love the sewing table too
Popped in from the Whipperberry link-up. Love this chair. It turned out beautifully!
Just perfect! Painting the caning was a great touch. It's so soft and girly. Wish I could score a chair like that at my Goodwill!!
Love this! The blue paint on the cane is the perfecting finishing touch. I think your desk area looks complete!
This is beautiful! I'd love for you to join my brand new linky party! http://www.coffeeandtheirkisses.com/2011/10/stitch-n-niche-saturdays-linky-party-1.html
Awesome transformation, Jennifer! That chair is just beautiful! And the fact that you painted the cane that pretty blue really added alot of French chic to it! Yup….your sewing table would look fabulous painted white…
