Inspiration Makeover: The Portrait Chair By: Caitlin Kelch

Inspiration Makeover: The Portrait Chair

As our Instagram feeds can attest to, we sometimes see an image that moves us and stays in our heads a little longer than most. Taking advantage of those special moments that completely capture our imaginations is something we’re trying to practice on a more regular basis. When Grace clipped and shared a lovely image from Martha Stewart Weddings (above left), it didn’t just end there. A few days later I happened to find what I refer to as a portrait chair at a thrift store for a reasonable six dollars. (If anyone knows the correct name of that type of chair, please share in the comments! We’d love to know its provenance.)

I imagined this six-dollar chair transformed with some sort of treatment that was reminiscent of the antique chair in the portrait. Instead of walking away with yet another creative idea in my head, I bought the chair and immediately headed to The Home Depot to grab some paint to realize my vision. See the whole hour-and-a-half project in the slideshow above and download the DIY instructions here!
