Furniture Retake: Coral and Mint Green Ombré Chairs

About a month ago I found these poor unfortunate chairs at my favorite local thrift store. They were having a 50% off tag sale and at $2.50 a pop I couldn't pass them up. 

This is what they looked like when I first got them home, x 2.


Sad, I know. 

Whilst on Pinterest I came across this image:



I love the black and yellow combination! Cute, but when I received the yellow chevron fabric that I ordered here, not so much. womp womp.


So I scratched that.

 A walk around Jo-Ann's and I found this beaut, which got me thinking magical thoughts of mint green and coral.






 It went something like this:

BOOM!




And that's how these were born.






Mint green, coral AND OMBRÉ? Yep. I did it.


I know they aren't technically patio chairs, but I put outside fabric on the seats in case I felt they would better suit the patio. ( Which I do! )

If you want to know how I reupholstered the seats, keep scrolling as I posted that info in my last post.

So, will you try Ombré on your patio? I think it looks très cool.

In My Pinterst World

In my Pinterest world, 


My things would always be in their place...


I would have endless counter space...

 and not have to clean up my mess. :P



There would always be an abundance of Peonies...

 everywhere. 


I would play all day.


And eat all of these that I wanted...


( YUM! )


What does your Pinterest world look like??   :)
