LeCultivateur Happy Monday y’all!! Hope your weekend was amazing! I love weekends, it means that I get to spend lots of time with my family, get lots of sleep, and of course I get time for my projects.
My weekend project last week, was transforming this darling chair. I scored it for just $6!
When I laid eyes on this little darling, sitting outside in the pouring rain, with all of her wonderful details, I just knew that I had get it! I knew it would be perfect for the monthly thrift store challenge.
She first got a fresh coat of white chalk paint, and a little white wax.
Then, I started by making the seat to upholster. I didn’t have any scraps of wood that would work, and I didn’t want to run to the hardware store because my little guy was napping, so I improvised, and used some 1X4 furring strips that I had left over from a previous project. 
The furring strips totally worked. And, It turned out to be really sturdy, which is so important in a house full of boys.

For the fabric…I looked and looked for the perfect fabric, but couldn’t find any that I loved. I wanted it to feel fresh and springy, and still fit my style. After looking at several stores, I settled on a creamy white linen, just $5/yard. I had an idea to paint some pink stripes on the fabric. After the seat was covered, I decided that instead of taping the stripes on the fabric, I would paint strips of paper….
Then press the painted paper onto the fabric.
I love how the paint is a little uneven, it kinda makes it looks vintage-y. I’m seriously loving my new/old chair!!
This chair took me less than two hours to complete, and less than $15…seriously in love!!!
