You might remember almost two years ago, I gave my dining chairs a makeover, changing out the fabric on their seats with a beautiful creamy white with a gorgeous pattern.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t thinking about how the little sticky dirty hands of five children (and maybe some adults) would make my white chairs so grimey looking.
I didn’t want to spend a fortune on new fabric, so I found an even better and less expensive solution. I recovered them with an inexpensive but very durable canvas drop cloth, and use Simply Spray Upholstery Fabric Paint to paint them the exact color I wanted.

I was impressed with the color selection of the Simply Spray Upholstery Fabric Paint, and was happy to be able to choose the exact Sage Green that I wanted for the new look of my chairs.
I originally thought I’d just use the paint over the fabric I
already had on there, but realized that the paint wouldn’t cover over
the darker print on it, so I opted to stick with the idea of recovering
them in the solid canvas.

The process was easy. Once I recovered the chair seats, I took them outside and just sprayed them with the paint. The paint literally is odor free, but I still didn’t want to use it indoors. I love how you use the trigger instead of having to push a button like on a spray paint can.
I only used one can of paint to cover both seats, and still had a little left over. I liked the look of just one coat, but if I’d wanted a darker color, I could’ve given them a second or third.
The paint dries quickly, but I waited the recommended three days before using them in my dining room, just to be sure that no paint got on any of our clothes.
This was such an easy solution to give my upholstery the exact look I wanted!

I would use it to update my dining room chair coverings.
I want to use it to perk up an upholstered living room chair. I bought it used and the frame would probably survive being hit by a bus but the fabric has seen better decades.
I would use it for a fabric art piece to hang in my dining room
I have a chair in my son's room that I have been putting off recovering. So I think I have my solution.
Would love to freshen up a much-loved recliner that is a light color and always looks dirty! I'd rather it look snazzy!!!
My son colored on the fabric glider we have. No success in getting it out 🙁
