Upcycling a vintage chair. Chalk paint and reupholstery.

Фильм және анимация

Welcome to my channel and to my first ever video here on KZread. In this video i will show you how i up cycle a vintage chair - totally transforming it from an old outdated dull looking chair to a one of a kind statement piece for my home. I will document how i totally strip it down, paint and reupholster it. All products used were purchased by myself. For more videos on up cycling, sewing, upholstery and interior design hacks please 'like' and 'subscribe'!

    Great upholstery! I've been upholstering professionally for 25 years and this is one of the best you tube videos. And from someone of your age/experience that's really something. Keep up the good work.

    I'm really glad to see this tutorial! My mom has some dining room chairs similar to this one, but with a wicker backing. My nephew poked a few holes in one of the chairs and little by little my son got to it as well, and now the chair is wrecked! I've been thinking of changing the wicker out to apholstry fabric, and this gave me the idea on how to change it out. Thank you for your time and filming your masterpiece! It turned out gorgeous 😍!

    Hi Charlie from down under. You've made one of the best videos I've watched (and I watched many tutorials!). I've only made this comment on 2 others. You are a very good teacher. Going slow enough on each section to show exactly how it's done but not making us watch while you complete that whole piece. eg. You start your stapling then jump to the finish. I have 6 chairs similar to yours I've been putting off. I know have the confidence to reupholster them now, when before I was only going to chalk paint the whole chair. I'm 67yo and can sew but it appears that there is no sewing required! Great job on the video and the chair and thank you. (you might just want to turn the music down a fraction as you have a lovely calming voice)
