Complete the transformation with this fabric by Katherine Rally. I emailed her awhile back about fabric stain repellents and she promptly responded that although their fabric is not organic, they at least don't use stain repellent chemicals. Nice!...

Can't afford upholstery and the color doesn't match? Why not paint the fabric! Kristy from Hyphen Interiors bought a Craigs chair similar to the one above and decided to paint because the cost of upholstery was too expensive. She was then featured on Emily A. Clark's blog (a favorite of mine) here with a full tutorial on how to paint fabric. Now I have stenciled fabric many times, but truly have never thought about painting a chair. Doesn't the after look fabulous...
Incredible right? Great job Kristy!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! xx Danielle
