Chair "After"

 So after I repaired this chair (seen in this post last week), I wrapped it in plastic bags and taped the edges of the fabric with masking tape.
Then I used Tulip's new fabric spray paint in a peacock blue color.  It took two full bottles to do two coats, so that's a cost of about $12.
Then I removed the tape and plastic - voila!!  
I was quite pleased with the way the embroidered little bouquet pattern showed through.
  And I think the blue looks lovely next to the weathered old wood, so I shall not paint that after all.
 And here's Autumn in an equally blue outfit modeling the new chair.
