Happy Saturday everyone! When I picked up this pair of chairs, the finish was poor and they had cracked cane seats. I really liked the scale of them and how skinny the spindles were, so I knew they were a good candidate for a re-do. I painted them in Benjamin Moor Advance Satin Marine blue, applied some upholstery webbing over the cane just for extra support, and padded them with batting. Then I used bold fabric from Premier Prints over the batting, and trimmed it out with white trim tape.
This pretty pair of chairs is now available in my shop. I can picture them at a little cafe table in the corner of an apartment. Have a great weekend!

I love the blue! So pretty!
Thanks!! I used this blue on a dresser too and I just love it. I'm on a real navy kick right now!
This blue paint color is incredible. I'm writing it down! I'd love for you to post this on my link party at http://www.doodlesandstitches.com/2012/06/fabulous-friday-link-party-5.html

Thanks! I just linked up. The paint color is even better in person. It can be very dark or a bit lighter depending on the light in the room. I used it on a dresser that's on my shop page too. I highly recommend it!

Great chairs. Love the blue color and the fabric used.
So cute. Loving the color … I have a similar color paint that I've been debating putting on a couple of little chairs I'm making over for my nieces. Now I may need to just pull the trigger!
