A while back I showed you some old directors chairs I had picked up from the tip shop and thought that I would change the fabric to something neutral or black & white.
Since then I have had a change of mind and decided I would like these chairs to be fun and colourful and evoke a feeling of being by the seaside amongst all the bright colours of the beach huts, umbrellas and deck chairs.
I jumped online and found a website that sells fabrics for outdoor chairs and had them send me out a selection of the fabrics I chose to have a feel and a better look at.
Now this is where I would appreciate everyone's opinion.
Firstly let me tell you I have painted the directors chairs in 'limed white' chalk paint, which kind of looks like a very soft grey... there is a little bit of distressing involved too to create a well worn look.
Here are the fabrics I chose....and yes they are all striped!
'Sprinting' 

Hope you can help!

I've narrowed it down to three too Bec. I wonder if we have chosen the same three...
ReplyDeleteMy suggestions:
Sprinting, Cha Cha, and Fives.
Any in common?
I'll be interested to see which one you pick.
kylie the answer to your question is yes....but I will reveal my pick soon.
Deletenice choice by the way!

I guess it depends on where the chairs are going and surrounding colors. I liked Boules as soon as I saw it or Fives.
ReplyDeletethe surrounds are neutral and we plan on moving these chairs around from deck to grass...so I guess it doesn't matter.
Deletethanks Kim for stoppin by.
