This is how both solid wood Queen Anne Chairs looked when I purchased them for $60 each
(a bargain by the way!)
A little spray of Benjamin Moore's "Classic Gray"
(this cost $65 each, another bargain since they now have a professional lacquer finish)
A trip to a local fabric shop where I snagged this fabulous retro hot pink fabric with perfect crisp white dots. I bulked up this light-weight cotton by bonding it to a nice heavy white linen backing. It's now the perfect weight for furniture upholstery
And here's the end result for a fraction of what you would pay for two brand new solid wood chairs and they have the perfect polka dot design for her room!
If you can manage a pair of scissors and a staple gun, this is one super easy project with
BIG BOLD DESIGN IMPACT!

I'm normally a fan of the natural wood color, but you did a really good job here! The white goes really well with the fabric you chose. Very cute look.
Queen Anne would be proud.
Gorgeous! I love what you did with them! You'll have to take a picture of the desk and the chairs together.
Sweet! I recently purchased some pink polka dot fabric for chair too! xo
That has to be a bright splash of color in her room; especially against the white chair.
You MUST be enjoying this project because it seems to be coming together so well, and because it's for your special little one.
