The French Shabby Chair Makeover...

Upstyling old chair ideas
Having acquired this fab wee French-inspired metal stool, the big debate was...to paint or not to paint!
Is the metal too shabby in all its rusty-marked glory?
I decided no, it is not.
There is just something about the time-worn patina of aged metal that I love.
So the metalwork's shabby look remains.

 I found a remnant of the most gorgeous fabric, which is called 'Paradiso' in Cobalt by Charles Parsens.

And this covered the very shabby and just can't keep its original seat cover!

I just can't decide which I love the most, that divine fabric or the time-worn metal on that chair!
Both, I think!
