~The Finished Article~

I managed to get the thrifted chair transformation finished last night - my first project of the holidays completed!
                                                                        From this...
                                                                          To this...
...using some paint I already had and a piece of hexagonal patchwork using lots of vintage scraps. I'm really pleased with it. I backed the patchwork with lining fabric to withstand a bit of wear and tear.
 I love the colour - F&B Hardwick White; a gorgeous neutral grey/green. The nice thing too is that it will remind me of where I was when I did the patchwork - the Yorkshire coast and Cornwall earlier this summer.

    Thanks for the lovely mention on your earlier post and for following me. The chair looks fab -my mum and dad had some similar in the very early 70s - the seats were covered in a turquoisey coloured vinyl material - and the table top was a matching colour! Yours is so much more stylish.
