Give it to me :D I have a business 'upcycling' furniture, I buy from auctions, charity shops, re-use centres, anywhere that sells reasonably priced items. I've also scavenged from skips, picked things out of ditches and dug through piles of woodworm infested, damp and mouldy furniture in old fashioned 'reclamation' yards. I love saving furniture, I'm the one who puts up their hand when the auctioneer says 'will anyone give me five pounds for this?' I have no pride and all donations are gratefully accepted ;)

It's a good way of getting what you want which wouldn't otherwise exist, especially if you are buying new, the mainstream stuff has such a limited "play it safe" choice. I do small stuff myself with a staplegun and a bit of hand-stitching I had the frame powder coated and covers made for the cushions on this over twenty years ago, (Corbusier would probably not have approved) lets just say my taste has changed a bit since then.

Purists will take a sharp intake of breath at my comments below, but without any fun, what joy will you really get from the chair? Any piece of furniture should be a joy to see and use for the owner, regardless of it's value to anyone else. Even if this is an antique, after all it is only a chair and you should do what you like with it to enjoy it whilst you can, without concern over what someone else may feel bout YOUR chair. Financial value is only realised when you sell something, are you planning on selling this? if not, go for it! Think about the location this chair is going to be used in. What colours bring you joy - canary yellow, marigold orange, or softer blues and greys? Choose your fabric first and then paint in a complimentary colour (look up a colour wheel to find out about complimentary colours), but bear in mind the hue and tone of the colour as this is a tricky thing to get right. Or you could pick out an accent colour in the fabric and have your paint colour mixed to match. Once stripped of any oil based paint, you can paint furniture with water based paints and either wax or varnish with a water based (acrylic) varnish to protect the paint finish. Remember, sometimes less is more, be bold, be brave and go play! Good luck,
