Before & After

Micro Makeover: Iron Chair Before & After

April 10, 2018
  • Share

Time for another micro makeover!

I found these iron chairs at the Long Beach flea market years and years ago. I can’t remember exactly, but let’s say they were $100 for the pair. They were purple and pretty beaten up, but had great lines.

With a little love and inspiration from my favorite Casamidy, I was able to get these chair living room ready!

Take a look at the transformation (below).

Before: As you can see, these chairs had great structure but needed an update.

share

After: Voila! Proof that small makeovers can make a huge difference.

I always look to Casamidy AKA my dream furniture for inspiration.

And these two metal chairs were no different. I love the metal structuring and colors.

I painted the chairs powder coated white, and tips silver metal leaf in flat finish.

I had the cushions and back made from soft creamy Edelman Leather. I put stitching detail on back, which I wish I had done in a contrasting dark color instead of matching off white.

This is an Italian Savonarola chair, which is known for its unique X-frame. This type of chair was developed in the late 15th century and originally made to be foldable and easily portable.

share

Later in the 19th century, it was named after the famous Renaissance Dominican friar, Girolamo Savonarola – as monks typically have folding chairs in their small rooms. The more you know!

Metallic details!

Final product!

These chairs now sit in my living room and I love love love.

Now onto next micro makeover!

xo,

P.S. Please tag me in your micro makeovers over on Instagram @cococozy! I’d love to see!

More from the COCOCOZY Design House! An upstairs bathroom. Was so excited last week to see this bath featured on House Beautiful’s site. White subway tile contrasted with black slate mosaic tile on the floor. The light fixture was initially specified for the foyer of the home but I liked the way it looked in here. I added some decorative molding around the wall mirror and tah dah...high constrast small bath! Thanks to design house partners @totousa deep soaking tub and plumbing fixtures. @caesarstone counters. @lampslus light fixture. @benjaminmoore white walls. 📷: @reidrolls

Things are bright and cheerful inside the COCOCOZY Design House thanks to all the @benjaminmoore Super White OC-152 painted walls. Here’s a glimpse of the dining room before and after the paint. Oh what a difference some paint makes! Swipe left to see the before. BTW don’t you love the decorative grill on the HVAC return. I had to have this made to make an air/heating exhaust look good! 💃🏾Tap profile link for full break down on my paint colors in the house.

Here is the COCOCOZY Design House kitchen as featured on House Beautiful’s website. To see more of the house check out my IG feed or tap profile link for blog post about the @housebeautiful reveal. Love this view of the kitchen. We built this massive arch between the dining and kitchen where there used to be a tiny door only! The kitchen is super functional and pretty. Did the two toned cabinetry thing and the farmhouse sink from @kohler. So funny 5 of the 9 COCOCOZY Design House partners products happen to be in this small vignette! [email protected] - counters.

Everything including the kitchen sink makes this my dream kitchen!

Fantastic Friday when I woke up to find the COCOCOZY Design House made the lead story on @housebeautiful website today! The cat is out of the bag! House tour is featured! So thankful and grateful for this. Tap profile link to head to their site to read the story by @candacebd. This is the living rooms the house! Will share details about this room and the whole house over the coming weeks! By the way, it took an amazing village of people who helped make this happen! @almostanythingi @parkerjersey @daledaleyo @anabel.bostedt and to my amazing house remodel mentor SFJ of @bettershelter!

Back balcony is looking good thanks to partner @cementtileshop! For today’s COCOCOZY Design House update, it is all about the back balcony of my 1930 Spanish Colonial Revival in the View Park area of Los Angeles. Swipe left to see the before! You should see the balcony now with a little seating and some plants added in. It looks good. I picked this quatrefoil tile pattern because it compliments the home’s architectural style and colors. I also thought tiling the balcony floor would make a fun trend moment in the house. One more thing, for the balcony wall, I had my COCOCOZY “Gate” textile pattern made into cement wall grates! So happy with the way this little bit of personalization makes this outdoor space work. Tap link on profile to see the balcony from every angle! Soon I will also reveal how it looks now that it is styled!
