This was the chair as it was when the update project began. The color of the metal did not match the hardware on the cabinets in the new bathroom, and the fabric on the seat was spotted and showing the signs of age.
For repainting the metal I chose spray paint in this Hammered Copper color. I visited the fabric store and bought 2/3 yard of upholstery fabric to recover the seat.
With the removal of four small screws, the seat could be taken off and the chair was ready to paint. To cut the cover for the seat, I just laid the seat cushion on the fabric and cut around it, allowing enough extra to tuck under on the back.
I secured the new fabric to the seat with a staple gun, then after the paint was dry, I replaced the four screws that held the seat in place.
What a great make over. The new look is fantastic!
It looks amazing! If I saw this chair in a store, I would scoop it right up and take it home with me.
