Funky Chairs Together With Fur Stools

Last calendar week when I showed you lot my new houndstooth pillows, a friend wanted a meliorate peek at the furry things peeking out inwards i of the photos.  I'm glad she mentioned it, because I've been pregnant to demo them to you lot anyway, I merely proceed getting side-tracked.


Last twelvemonth nosotros turned our "office" into an office/playroom/media room/music room.  We squeezed inwards a couch together with loaded a novel tv set into the bookshelves hence nosotros could deed the Wii inwards in that place (and teach it out of the middle of the living room!).  It is a decent size room, but I didn't desire to plough over upwards the flooring infinite that a conventional java tabular array would require since nosotros did desire lots of room to deed around.  However, I knew nosotros would desire something to lay our feet upwards on when watching movies.  So, when I came across these petty beauties (not!) on Craig's listing I hatched a excogitation to re-do them together with piece of occupation them adjacent equally a java table.  That way, they could easily last moved approximately if nosotros needed to a greater extent than flooring space.  (I couldn't abide by a truthful earlier photo, merely imagine cherry legs together with you lot tin run into the master copy tapestry peeking out from nether the kilim top.)

So, I bought them ($20!) together with painted the legs dark together with used that kilim to brand slipcovers for the tops.  We used them inwards that room for a few months, together with and hence I institute these...thrift store...$14.95 each.  

I know, you're belike thinking I paid equally good much!  But, I loved the shape, the lines, together with the tufting together with knew they weren't equally good far gone to expect fantastic amongst a cloth overhaul!  I purchased them together with had them recovered amongst the excogitation to lay them inwards my bedroom, but in conclusion summertime nosotros did some rearranging together with they ended upwards inwards the living room. 

They are a smaller scale chair but they are actually comfortable.  The kids peculiarly honey them, they think they merely their size together with merely correct for them.


Which leads us dorsum to the stools.  The chairs needed a petty to a greater extent than "somethin' somethin'."  I knew I had those ii matching stools inwards the other room but didn't similar the slipcovers I had done if they were going into the living room.  I remembered this post from the Nester together with idea "Hmmm, easy, quirky, together with fun! And no sewing!"  (She wrote a nifty tutorial at that link, also, if you lot desire to brand your own.)  The entirely decent fur I could abide by locally was this shaggy black, together with I was ok amongst that.  But, the legs were painted dark hence I knew those would convey to last changed.  I didn't desire to teach white, together with finally GOLD popped into my head.  I used a petty bottle of acrylic pigment together with brushed it on the legs.  

I honey them.  I may convey some other gilt slice of furniture particular upwards my sleeve inwards the future...   

So, for now, they're living happily together, although when I redecorate my chief this twelvemonth I excogitation to deed the chairs dorsum inwards there.  I also actually think I'd similar to pigment or switch out the legs on the chairs to something similar these

but haven't institute the correct ones for a practiced toll yet.   


Wow, that was agency to a greater extent than than you lot wanted to know well-nigh my chairs together with stools.  
I honey pieces that convey a practiced story!
