Painting the Recliner: It Finally Got It

Everyone has that one Pinterest project. It may be just one pin that you keep forgetting that you want to do or it might be an entire board that you've created that is dedicated to getting a particular project done. For me, it was my recliner. This lovely recliner is going on what has to be it's 15th year of life... well since it was brand new to my mom. We inherited it not too long ago (5 ish years) & I've been planning to give it new life for 3 of those years. 

Original Color within the first year that we owned it.
Nothing is wrong with it... I think it is still crazy comfy... but if you know me... it was just a little to "normal" for me. Most everything in our home is antique, vintage or weird/eclectic & it just didn't seem to quite fit. (See pics of the rest of our Living Room Here) So I started a board on Pinterest & eventually pinned This Pin. I am very happy with the outcome... although I think my Husbie is a little stuck on the new texture.

New Happy Recliner!

It is a little more "crunchy" crunchy than I would like it to be but really not NEARLY  as bad as I thought it would be. I definitely recommend doing a test piece of fabric first if this is something you think would REALLY bother you. For us though we were teetering on the edge of getting a new (to us) recliner so it was worth the risk.

& I'm super HAPPY to check this off my list & delete the board (after 3 years!!!)

What do you think of it just looking at the pictures?! (the texture doesn't bother me, and I'm really the only one who sits in it... lol)
