This is the chair that I use by our desk in our sitting room or should I say little Miss Victoria's playroom! I found this chair years ago in the Christmas Tree Shop. When I bought the chair the color was very similar to the desk and few months ago I decided to paint and distress it black. Sorry I don't have a before pic. Last week I noticed the cushion was getting worn so I found this pretty B/W check fabric in Hobby Lobby to recover it in.
Before
You can see where it was wearing around the edges
It also needed a little reinforcing
And here's the after
Thanks so much for stopping by, have a great weekend and a Happy Mother's Day to all you terrific mom's out there! Martina

COOL..love that fabric too Martina! Good job there.
It is amazing what changing the fabric did for that chair, Martina! That chair was meant to wear black and white check! Love it!
Martina, the new fabric looks great. I may need to get some of that to recover my barstools. I am not in love with the fabric I used.
I am a checked fabric fan as well...there is just something so classic yet homey about it. Love the black and white. Great choice...~Ann
Very cute update for your chair. It looks like you spend more time at your desk than I do.

Looks great, Martina! I love the distressing on the chair, I think I am going to distress my table I love the look and if it gets scratched it just adds more character! :) Love your new checked fabric!
It turned out so pretty! I love black and white. It's so classy!
Happy Mother's Day to you!
Black and white check is my favorite. It seems to work anywhere and in any room. Great job.
That chair is beautiful! I really do love that beautiful fabric and the refinish is gorgeous. I am a new follower.
Beautiful chair. Love the black and white check. The desk in the background is awesome. Thanks for the inspiration. Ginger :)
Martina I love the chair makeover! The check is wonderful. I've looked around for something like this for a couple of chairs. May have to make a trip to Hobby Lobby.
It's gorgeous, Martina! I love your fabric choice... it really complements the style of the chair! It looks like it would be quite comfortable to sit in!~ Yvonne

Hi Martina! Oh, your chair looks great and I love your fabric you used on the seat. Thanks for popping in to see me.
Happy Mother's Day!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
The black and white fabric looks great!
Your redone chair looks magnificent! I love black painted furniture. I am always afraid that as soon as I paint something it will be terribly dated, but black painted furniture has been around for a long time now, hasn't it. The buffalo checks look so perfect with it, too.
Hugs, Cindy
Oh! I love the makeover. I love checks!

It is so pretty now, MArtina. Love the colors.Happy Mother's Day! Do you want me to sign you up for my giveaway?...Christine
I love this chair so much! The distressing looks great, and I adore the checked print cushion. I've been looking for a pretty old chair to redo for my bedroom, and I think you've made up my mind- gotta go with a checked cushion! LOVE IT!!
Visiting from Courtney's party. I love the black and white check fabric looks great on that chair!
