So here it is, the final results of my chair redo. I did two of them, but here is a shot of one. Overall I'm pretty pleased. I'm still on the fence about reupholstering the seat with a different fabric, but I can always change that later. I'm currently considering adding a rug underneath my table, but this is how it will be for now... Anyway- it's been a crazy few days around these parts (rain, chaos, craziness) so I'm jetting off for a quick weekend getaway. If I'm lucky, maybe even play in some snow! I'll probably post some over the weekend, so stay tuned and hope you're having a great friday!

Love the outcome, really looks great. I wonder what it would be like in reverse, with just white feet.
I agree there is something off about the upholstery. The off white looks dirty against the crisp frame. What about a color?
Wow, it looks great! Even better than the Anthro chair (in my humble opinion).
i think it worked for sure. kudos
it looks really good! I would consider upgrading the fabric. Even something in a similar cool in a boiled wool would be great!
I think they look better than the expensive chairs, as well!
i've loved all the spray painting projects you've been doing. i was wondering if you could help me out. a few years ago my husband bought me the Noresund bed frame from Ikea. I've never really liked it BUT i was thinking I would like it more if it was white. Do you think i could just spray paint it like you've done or do i need to do some prep work? Please help me with suggestions to help me like this bed frame more! Thank you!
hey shar- I think you should go for it! However, for something as big as a bedframe, I would not spray paint it, but just use regular paint with a brush or roller. Definitely prep it- give it a light sanding and then I fully recommend priming it with primer paint- then coat it with some semi gloss paint. Anyone else have any other tips or suggestions for Shar?
The chair looks great. Can't decide whether I like the "socks" better on the curvy Anthro chair or your angular, square version. It looks very modern and fresh.
looks great!! love the little feet.
that looks so cute! such a vast improvement of the chair, and it actually makes the shape a bit sexier. and, since you're taking opinions, i think a neutral solid or pattern would look cute - but i wouldn't pick something too busy. i think it would distract from the clean aesthetic! :)
Yes, reupholster! Something that goes with your yellow and blue-- take a look at this painting for inspiration: I think the Tobias twins use the same colors as are in your room.
