Pillow Talk

Remember this pillow I bought at value village for $1.99 well this is what I did with it.
I just purchased this desk on Kijiji ( is similar to your craigs list), and I needed a chair to match.
So I took this plain old Ikea chair .

I spray painted it black and before it was completely dry I rubbed some of the paint off to make it match the desk.
 Now the pillow. I decided to cover it. Here and added a little skirt. It still needed something to set it off.
So I took a print from Graphics Fairy  and cut it out as a stencil. I used my black folk art paint and stencil brush and applied it to linen burlap.  While the stencil was drying I made the insert for my lumbar pillow.

Then I proceeded to make my cover . Here is the chair with the lumbar pillow.
Hope you enjoyed this makeover.
