Found this nasty old chair at a Goodwill store this spring.
Faded orange stripes and mystery oil stain (barf) included in the $2.99 price.
The lines of the chair are quite feminine and graceful, the rattan in good shape.
Seat cushion redone using my trusty (and extremely rusty) old staple gun,
and some drop cloths run through the wash a few times to soften.
Spendiest part of the job was the reusable stencil from a great artist, Janna Makaeva from CuttingEdgeStencils.
Janna's stencils are in a class all their own--especially some of the vintage patterns for larger surfaces (like the master bedroom of my dreams).
I'll definitely be buying more of her wares in future.
