Very cool! I need to cover up my dining room chairs and this would be perfect. However, one question - are you just using regular cotton fabric as it appears? What a great idea! How ever did you think of this?

These are fantastic! My husband would probably hate it, but I'd love to do all the furniture in my house this way! Failing that, even one outstanding chair or couch would be fantastic!

No, the artist said she painted the dressers and did a polyurethane as the final step! She said it was easy! Anyone can do this!

:D :D ;)

p.s. The first dresser was hers she did and she may have done the one I showed at the end but am not sure.

I'm an interior designer from heart and this is right up my alley!! I know it's not for everyone, but there are ideas that can be gleaned from just looking at the pics!! You might be inspired from a color you see here to use for your next quilt!! .....or one of those fabrics!! haha.

:D :D :D ;)

I covered mine in frabic swatches. The foster dogs are tough on my cushions. It was fun but mine aren't as bright as these.

Thank you, Prissnboot!!! Regular cotton fabric will work just great!!! I know the artist who is also a quilter made the covers on the lanai on the Florida porch (pic near the end) and she did one of the dressers by painting it on and the rest of the pics are works others have done. I have such a love for furniture and design, etc. that this is right up my alley. I'm in a non-quilting phase too like someone else said on here, but these were all done by others, not me, I just collect the pics for inspiration for when I do go about kicking a piece up a notch, it will be easy!! Actually, it's not hard to think about if you're an artist!! haha.

:D :D 8-) 8-)
