Nest Building: Chair Makeovers

Remember our his and hers chairs that we got after we got married? It wasn't blending well with the new place because it gives a small space a heavy feel to it because of its upholstery. So, we decided to breath a new life into it...again.

We had Mang Rolando work on the same chairs. He's the same one who did the first reupholstery and we really like the sturdiness and foam comfort of our chairs (which after 3 years still first comfy). Mang Rolando is the man behind Lozano Upholstery. His clients include Tony and Guy, Via Mare, and us (haha) among others.

Here's the before and after shots of our "new" chairs:

I initially wanted the wood part to be colored white or silver, but Mang Rolando said that would involve taking the whole thing apart because the existing chocolate brown paint has to be stripped. He says it would cost more if we pushed through with it. Since he's the expert and the print on the fabric matches the existing color of the wood, we kept the chocolate brown body.

The fabrics were actually curtains that I got on sale at Php300 a piece (I got 2 pieces). It was a bit difficult to find a turquoise fabric, so it took me months to actually find this one. It was worth all those mall trips!

The chairs are the only furniture in our abode that uses a printed fabric. So, they're actually the accent pieces that binds our living and dining areas. Our peony storage bench blends really well with the damask chairs.

Now off to more projects to get giddy about!
