Laminating Fabric


Have a favorite fabric you'd like to use outdoors or in the house with kids & pets? Inspiration follows...
Start with the above chair....

Enter my uber-talented friend, Kim W., who bought a set of these darling repro green chairs. She is oh so tres talented, so we are sharing her idea below, which can be applied to old and new chairs, vintage or new fabric:
Kim shares: "Several months ago I spotted two items separately that I paired mentally. I first spotted this folding French bistro chair. A few months later I was perusing a home & garden magazine and noticed this gorgeous lime & pink toile fabric.

"Knowing I wanted to use the table outdoors, I worried that pool splashes would stain or damage my precious fabric...

"I researched laminators and decided on a thin mil matte laminate application from Decorators Laminating Service. {Other resources available via that link.} Slipcovers were executed to provide a simple, yet flexible design to embellish the chairs with a Fashionable French flair.....!"
-Kim



Pull up a chair and enjoy a crepe in honor of Kim while you duplicate this idea for your own home or garden! Joile chose!!
