I got 2 deck chairs at the flea marked recently.
Woodwork and seats were in an okay condition – but the colours were dull – a not so flattering dark brown and a greyish ditto so I decided to redo both chairs.
A layer of white paint – and 2 new seats made out of 2.nd hand fabric and embroidery and a back of a new and strong canvas is what I’ve done so far. Now I only have to figure out the best way to connect the fabric to the wooden frames.
Think I’ll buy some little brass nails today…

I remember my grandparents had old deck chairs like these.
As a girl I loved them 🙂
Oh! I would love to know how you did this. I have two chairs that I adore, but the seats are gone. The frames used to be strung with rope, but I suspect fabric could work… it’s the attaching part that gets me. 😀
Stunning. I adore them. 😀
Oops… I see that you put up another post with an answer to my question! (I came here from a direct link on Whiplash!). Thanks again for the idea! Lovely.
