I still have 2 of these faux bamboo armchairs that I have to paint, and I need your advise in wich colour to paint them and wich fabric to use.
I would like something that can last for a long time, and now with a baby in mind...
If you have a great idea, let me know and I will make dedicate a post about YOU ;)

My dearest Chantal (or after you called me JLo, should I start calling you Anastasia!???) I laughed so hard with that... How are you feeling so far? I'm so excited to find what is comming on the way, if a boy or a girl... You got to buy all 'Brazelton' books. That is my only advice to a mother to be. They saved me from doing a lot of mistakes when I had Martim. He is quite known, pediatrician from Boston, US. Now about the chair, you are going to find this funny but I boght that same one from a antique store about a year ago and had it painted that aqua blue colour, just like the one on your picture!! Couldn't make up my mind on the fabric yet. It's in our warehouse waiting poor thing!... Bigg kiss,

Mmmm... I would paint them white and would choose a plain velvet fabric, depending on the place where you are gonna put them. Black, turquoise, coral or deep purple/indigo would be a nice combination with white, I think. In case you want another color, I would go with coral for the paint and a plain white or ivory for the fabric. Hope this helps! =)

I'm going through a green phase at the mo so I'm going to go with bottle green with a bold black and white print fabric. Maybe chevron but I think you might have gone for this upholstery fabric before? Claire
