Chair Change Up

I have another quick, easy and cheap furniture update to share with you today.  Pretty much, It's the same project as my bench redo but in the form of a chair.  I did use spray paint this time - It's inexpensive and I didn't have any leftover paint that worked for this project.   I also think it would have taken a lot longer if I had painted this chair by hand instead of spraying and the end result is nice and smooth so it's a win-win.  Check out the before and afters - 

I used one of the pretty fabrics I got from the etsy shop Fabrics You Love to recover the seat.  Honestly, I first thought I might just leave it alone and not paint the chair.  We have actually had this chair a long time (I got it at the local flea market way back) and have left it in it's "natural" state.  But, I just wasn't feeling it anymore and thought an updated color would totally change the look of the chair - and I think it did.

Just a quick sanding and two coats of spray paint later, I had a nice sunny chair.

I was really worried about drips so I just made sure to keep my spray paint moving and applied nice thin and even coats.  

I love the new yellow color and gray fabric and I'm so glad I decided to paint it.

It's one of those things that I walk into the room just to look at now, I know I'm crazy.  Painted chairs make me happy.  

Hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend!  

Linking up to these awesome parties!

Quick Fix - Master Bedroom

We have a slight overabundance of doors in our house, especially in the tight places.  We have 3 doorways alone in our master bedroom, all leading out to different spaces.  One of these doors was particularly frustrating as it continued to block the bathroom door when opened.  

This was taken before we started painting.  Another issue, this door was in terrible shape as you can see in this picture.

The little hallway space here has a bedroom door, bathroom door and a closet door all opening up to the same spot so you can see how irritating that was becoming.  So, our fix was to take down the bedroom door that was blocking the other doors, easy enough.

(Before)
I first started painting the door and midway through we decided we were going to remove it so I just stopped, hence the half painted door.

(After)
One day we will have a much prettier laundry room space, it's just not on the top of our list right now.

We liked it immediately after we got the door out.  There was one issue though, we really didn't want the laundry room view from our room.  Enter our quick fix idea - a curtain.  We headed over to our my favorite store, Target and searched for the perfect curtain, except there was no perfect curtain.  (My sister always says there is a required $50 exit fee when shopping at Target, this time however we got out way under - score!)  I did however find a tablecloth that I loved which I could easily turn into a curtain, thanks to these awesome curtain ring clips.

Our tablecloth and curtain rings, we also used a tension rod to hang them.

These clips are so super easy, you can pretty much make anything into a curtain.

Now we have a lovely "curtain" in our doorway that hides the ugly laundry room view.  We love, love, love this.  It also adds some much needed color and decor to a pretty bare space.  Quick fixes are the best.  In total it cost $25 for our new doorway, we like that.

We hung the curtain on the back side of the door with our tension rod.

So what about you?  Have any quick and easy fixes you love?  Comment and share!!

Have a wonderful week!
