Browse Forums Finishing Touch Re: A few final touches 21May 17, 2009 6:35 pm I'm hunting for fabric for my antique chair to finish off the family room. Here's a pic of the chair I'd like to recover. The colour of the cushion suits the room very well but anything brighter (turquoise) looks out of place. I bought some pillows home over the weekend to try in the room and the dark teal and grey, blue, silver coloured pillows worked the best. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I'd like to put a patterned fabric on the back of the chair and plain fabric on the front and seat. Might sound odd but I like a quirky take on things.

Re: A few final touches 22May 17, 2009 7:27 pm I like the stripes in option 1 and 2 and the pattern in option 3. Not together of course. I think 1 needs something more of a blue/silver for the seating rather than that grey. At least the way it looks on my monitor. In option 2 the plain blue seems too strong. good luck with the project . i'm sure it will look fabulous when completed. i'm really envious that you can recover chairs. i've no idea on how to do it myself though my MIL is a bit of an expert from memory..

Terrence Malick Re: A few final touches 24May 17, 2009 7:58 pm Love options 1 and 4 - but I agree with Kexkez, the plain grey might be better in a darker shade? I think the patterned fabric will just make the silver-grey look wishy-washy. It must be the day for fabric...I've been scouring fabric websites, looking for blind/curtain fabric and I'm about to go crazy. ![]() ![]() Re: A few final touches 25May 17, 2009 8:04 pm First or Last for me ![]() 'A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.'

Re: A few final touches 27May 18, 2009 4:30 am out of that last lot the 2nd combination. the grey is much better than the original one. Re: A few final touches 28May 18, 2009 8:38 am ooh that third option in your last post is really special, but I still think I'd go with the second option from your last post. I think I'd just do somethng different to stripes because I've seen so many with stripes. Re: A few final touches 29May 18, 2009 9:46 am Wow I love them all Dy, can't decide which one I like best, you've done so well seeing all those lovely fabrics. All I know is I want to see the end result!! Also wanted to say that I love your DH's idea of the padded bedhead using your pelmet material. Maybe you could let him do it once he changes the feature wall?? ![]() ![]() ![]() "Your emotions are the slaves to your thoughts, and you are the slave to your emotions." — Elizabeth Gilbert Living in our new house.
