Chair and drawers
 
Magda Ola, loved your handiwork - chair and drawers are beautiful. You mentioned you used vinyl on the drawers - is this like contact or more like a vinyl table cloth but with adhesive on the back? Thinking about doing something similar myself!

chair and chest of drawers
 
Fabulous job Magda. You are very artistic. What sort of paint did you use on the legs of the chair. Did you cover over the plastic of the chair of remove it? I have a chair like it that the OT gave my husband and it is very ugly and I Would love to brighten it up.

WOW!!!
They look really designer and retro! I really really love the chair changing the colour of the metal really worked and I must say i hated that chest of drawers before you did it up! your a real inspiration :)

To Flossed:
that's more like contact, it's not a table cloth. I'm not sure when you can get something like that in Ireland, cause I bought it in Poland. But I saw something similar in B&Q but don't remember the name. And it was in small rolls and mine is in quite big, so it was enough for a chest of drawers.

To earthprince:
the legs were painted with spray paint bought in Woodies; that paint is the best to paint accesories or furniture, it does not leave any marks like a brush;

the original cover on the chair was leather; I covered over it; it was in quite good condition just the colour was absolutely horrible;

Thanks magda ola for coming back to me - will take a look in B&Q.

Hi the chair is great but the chest of drawers is simply marvellous.
fantastic work altogether. vj

ooo thank you for the last comments; I'm sitting in this chair writing this:)
aa that's true, with a bit of imagination you can have lovely things done with just normal or old furniture:)
