Here is the chair before I began to over haul it by painting with Jacquard fabric paints. It's a good solid piece of furniture and cost $40.00 at the thrift store. It is replacing another thrift store couch that the dog ate (see posting below). Bad dog.
Here it is finished. I'm not so sure about the seat and may go for something a bit more conservative later. Have to live with it for awhile. You need to see the other furniture it sits with to get the full idea.
The other smaller chairs have curved backs as well and there is a lot of green in the house. I like funky stuff so maybe it will grow on me as time goes by, you think?
Looking from the front windows and couch into the living room. I need to sit in it and ponder if it will be staying green.
Details- it took 4 coats of paint that had to be heat set with an iron at the end. The chair that I considered buying instead of this one cost $176.00 and wasn't as comfortable. I think I am liking this one better and better the more I think about it.

Terrific chair, Marjie! I love the green cushion - I think it would look great if the whole chair was green with white swirls.
Marjie, I love it! Your house must be a really fun place to live :-)
Cool chair! I don't know about the green cushion. Maybe it just takes time to get used to, or maybe I need to see it in person? I like the chair's shape though. Looks comfy. It's not all acrylic paint feeling is it?
Wow-what a transformation.
Wow - great result. I am with Michelle - I think the whole chair could be green and the room really looks as if it could handle it!! Gorgeous! Love the text covered coffee table too.
You are all so nice to me and so supportive of my quirks. It is a little stiff but as we sit in it and wiggle our butts around on it, it is softening up just fine!
