DIY chair makeover tutorials
With a long weekend ahead of us, my thoughts turn to home projects. A conversation about seating last night has prompted this post: a smattering of ideas for transforming chairs. My favorite? The DIY herringbone tutorial from Martha Stewart, above.

Ooh, I'm thinking of using this technique on my daughter's crib! I need to repaint it anyway!
@ Lil Mama Stuart LOL Me Too! I found the correct link http://www.howjoyful.com/2011/08/desk-chair-transformation/
Fabulous. I <3 that herringbone!!!
Oops, sorry guys! I've fixed the link.
I love the herringbone paint treatment, though I don't think I could ever touch a brush to the beautiful Eames! Instead, I tried it on an IKEA step stool and it came out great! I did mine in green and white. I'm liking the stripey chair, too!
Yeah, I wouldn't do it to a real Eames, either. But I think they said in the video they used a knockoff. I'd have no qualms about doing this to a cheap reproduction or something from IKEA. Or to my entire house. :)
I would make a royal mess of that herringbone project! Actually, I'd probably make a mess out of all of these! Very clever ideas, though.
I love the 1st chair!
I kind of gasped when I saw your post because I thought the first chair was yours and you were going to re-do it! I'm so relieved! :)

Hola,
In our blog http://lascreacionesdebeaynatalia.blogspot.com/ , we've dedicate some post about reusing and reciclying. We've visited some blogs that show us to do it. One of them is HOW ABOUT ORANGE, so we invite you to visit our blog. The blog is in Spanish, but you can use a gadget to translate it. Thanks!
Goodbye to my boringoffice chair! Now i have seen that polka dot green and white idea, my chair is going for a makeover. Love the ideas. Meriem in France
Love that green polka dot. It's cheerful!
Ooh, that green polka-dotted one gives me an idea for my wretched hand-me-down desk chair...although I should just get one that doesn't make my shoulder hurt...at least it can be pretty in the meantime!
The top chair is my fav!
I loved these chairs in my work as a designer I seek inspiration and your blog is my favorite .....
Success!

great minds think alike!
I wonder if these projects are tricky.
I love how a splash of paint or your favourite fabric can really transform an ordinary piece of furniture!
great chair makeover!
I love the herringbone paint treatment, though I don't think I could ever touch a brush to the beautiful Eames! Instead,
