Recently I've been going to local markets and carboot sales to find interesting furniture for cheap, hoping to then strip it and then repaint, stencil on, reupholster it to make it much more of an interesting piece..
A few months ago I managed to grab a chair for 4 quid. Also some cabinets and drawers. The chair is in excellent condition apart from the seat needs new padding and material. I was thinking painting it eggshell with a really interesting seat cover.. maybe text or a quirky design.
Anyway my ideas for this project stemmed from furniture such as Laura Ashley's.. but to make it more affordable - also as a one of piece, more of an art piece.
Inspiration.. I think its a mixture of shabby chic, vintage, & retro.. and this amazing site !
(the chair in the first image is very similar to the one I got)
