Zebra Chair

Julia at Hooked on Houses is having a Hooked on Fridays Party...sharing what you're hooked on today! Y'all know what I'm hooked on right now! ZEBRA FABRIC! I finally finished my zebra print chair...this chair has been around the block. I found the pair of them for $20 bucks.

This is the before the before

After some white slipcovers...

And wahlah! I am in love with this chair...what is it about black paint that just takes it to a whole other level! There is a rip in the cane...so I fixed it.

By putting a cute monogrammed pillow over it! Next week, I'll be hosting a giveaway...so stay tuned. Have a great weekend!

  27. Oh my gosh - I have always wanted a zebra chair. Yours turned out beautifully! Where did you end up finding the chairs - a garage sale? I am still looking for some to redo.

  29. It would have been so easy to just pass that chair by. You did a great job, it looks awesome. I love a touch of black esp. a piece of black furniture. I've wanted something zebra for my daughter's room (it's pink) but now I want it for me too.

  36. This is so strange...I read this this morning. I then had to go to a fabric shop to get some pillow forms..When I walked in there was a whole wall full of black and white zebra and then brown and cream!!! I immediately thought about your blog...Funny how things stay with someone!! Love your pillow also...Amy Cannon

  41. I am absolutely drooling over that chair! It is FABULOUS. Thanks for stopping my blog to say hi. about the shoes, I got them at a local place called The Watermelon Patch. The brand name is Yellow Box...they also make THE most comfy flip flops ever. I don't know if they sell them anywhere other than the south. But I'm sure you could google it!

  46. Your LR sounds awesome! I would love to see it. Good for you making your own sign. Dont ya just love when you see something and you know you can make one of your own. My problem is I see something that I like and I think I can make and I add it to my very long list.... and well I never get around to it. So when its something I just have to have...I break down and buy it,smile. Kinda like one of those adorable pins of Kimbas. I couldnt resist the temtation. I bought one and I just cant wait to wear it~

  47. Gracious, this turned out amazing! LOVE it :) What a great find and a beautiful addition to your home.

  48. Kristi, I am absolutely totally in love with your new zebra chairs?! WOW, those are fantastic. I have a thing for zebra right now too & just bought a yard of fabric today at HL to recover my HUGE bulletin board in my office nook. It's gonna look SO much better in zebra!

    Are you sure you don't want to haul them to Blissdom, I'd be glad to take them off your hands?! Great job, girl!

    ReplyDelete
  49. wow this is fantastic! Such great inspiration to all your readers. Look at what you have and transform it! Very budget friendly!

  50. These are beautiful. I love what a can of black spray paint and fabric can do. I will be on the lookout for some chairs to spray paint and attempt to cover. I am just learning to sew, so they may not come out as good as yours. Thanks for sharing.

  53. Hi! I found you via "Today's Creative Blog". You have so many great ideas that actually seem doable. The day after I read this post I found a chair like yours for only $7! So, I am going to go for it! To bad my husband won't let me do zebra. Thanks for the great idea. I can't wait to get mine done. Then I'm moving onto your monogrammed sign!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Love love love the chair! Found a similar, dining~type style chair, and I am going to attempt it as well! Thanks for the great idea!!!
