Part 1 is HERE if you missed it. The chair after 2 coats of paint has streaks that I’m hoping will disappear after more coats. The fabric has some spots where the nap was worn down and I’ve tried sanding, but that didn’t help, but sanding does a great job of softening the fabric.
I sand like an obsessed person after each coat of paint is dry and it’s only those few arrow marked spots that give me problems. The raised spots with rough fabric are harder to paint. I don’t know what caused the fabric to be like that.
Several coats of paint later and this is how she looks. The paint is wet, that’s why it looks blotchy. I’m going to paint the wood white.
Here’s the fabric on the back of the chair. You can see how nice the nap is, and it’s soft.
I think I’m going to like it, flaws and all, just because she’s so pretty!
This little dresser is getting a makeover too. Maybe an ombre pattern like this cute little dresser.

While working on this room I got sidetracked working on 2 projects in the basement. More about that later, nothing décor related, mostly maintenance and housekeeping
The chair is getting there! Yeah

She is looking pretty darned good-rough spots or not! I LOVE the color and you will never notice her little flaws once you get her in place. xo Diana
love it! I am so inspired
Anxious to see the final pic's. Looking good!
I think it's looking good, Debbie! The white will really make that color stand out! A dresser in that colorway would really look great in the same room as the chair.
I love it! It does look soft and it is going to be so pretty with the white. Can't wait to see it all and the dresser, I love the ombre!

This sounds like a dumb question, but will the chair be color-fast? I know that dark jeans wear off on light colored leather.
This really is fascinating. I've often wondered about changing fabric color already on a piece. Wonder if it would also work on a rug.
Very nice touch on the gradated colored chest!
Well, here is the solution to a problem~mosey on over to my house to work some of that colorful magic!

I think it is looking awesome. Love the color! I have seen fabric painted before and it looked really good! I really like that dresser too!

I've been wanting to try this just for curiosity's sake, but I'm kinda terrified. Your chair looks great though- I love that color!!
Hey Debra, I am loving the painted chair! Looks great to me and that color is yummy. Hope you are still enjoying your retirement! Can't wait for Haven either, so happy you are coming down.
Very interesting! I might want to try this on something too!
Thank you for sharing this interesting post at Potpourri Friday!
