Befores and Afters with Faux Bamboo, Bentwoods, and a Bench

I don't always remember to take a before pic, but here are a few that I did.  

Paint and fabric and a little imagination=transformations.

Faux Bamboo Chinese Chippendale Side Chair  and Bella

After priming, I just used Benjamin Moore Cloud White in a high gloss to update.

Vintage Bentwood Chair

I used the same BM paint for the chairs, cut a replacement seat, and reupholstered.

I added blue and white fabric and purchased cording.

To see my previous post about how to make matching cording and attach it, go here.

This has to be one of the worst fabric choices ever.

I added designer fabric by Lee Joffa.  Checks have made a come back so I made my cording with black and white checked fabric.  It's fun to experiment with contrasting fabric cording. 

 I also added over sized nail heads to the legs.
