Chinese Chippendale Garden Chairs with Chinoiserie Fabric--Before and After

Faux bamboo, wicker, Chinese Chippendale design, and Chinoiserie fabric--what's not to like!

I found this fabulous pair of vintage Chinese Chippendale garden chairs. 

They were painted black. 

 I re-painted them a charcoal grey to co-ordinate with the new citrine and charcoal fabric.

This Robert Allen Chinoiserie fabric from Dwell Studio is a favorite of mine.

I think that the fabric works well with General Finishes Paint in Queenstown Grey.

It's perfect if you're looking for a charcoal grey.

Love the design on the back rest.
