Today is Day 20 of a 31 day series on creating and cultivating an eclectic home. For some crazy reason, I have accepted The Nester’s challenge to write on the same theme every day for the month of October. This may end up killing me. Or you. But, I appreciate you reading and welcome your comments.
Regardless of your eclectic style mix, I am confident that every home could use a brightly painted chair with a funky fabric. You will need to choose a chair style that fits into your style, but a little paint and a staple gun will transform a dated beauty into a work of art.
I’ve just finished a great chair in my favorite shocking yellow and a fun geometric fabric. Next week, we’ll talk about how I made the transformation, step-by-step.
Until then, you have a mission. Grab an extra chair from your garage. Stop by an estate sale this weekend. Hit up the thrift stores on Saturday. Find a chair that fits into your eclectic style mix and get ready to add some color to your life. To make it easier, look for one that only has an upholstered seat (and maybe back). Chairs with removeable upholstered cushions will add an extra degree of difficulty.
What color will you paint your chair? Think boldly!
Challenge accepted! I have been wanting to do this for awhile but now you have provided the extra motivation for me 🙂
Perfect because I am in the middle of doing two chairs!!
I am always on the lookout for new chairs to sit at my 12-seat homemade farmhouse table my hubs and I built:http://honeysuckleblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/labor-of-love.html
Looking forward to your next post!
I have 3 chairs currently waiting on me to tackle them head on! I MUST STOP PROCRASTINATING! I love the chairs int he picture though! Very awesome!
I have a chair I just found at a yard sale and plan on working on it tomorrow. I can’t wait to see how it turns out.

I’m on the hunt for 2 chairs for our living room and hope to pull something like this off! For now, I’m enjoying my bright blue desk in my office 🙂

Hiya, Lindsay! Love this post today… Boldly is a wonderful way to live…
So funny, my 31 days is on upholstery!
When I get back into town, I’m definitely going to take on this challenge.
Great advice! I am “chair central” over here! Look forward to seeing your lovely creation!
