As part of the ongoing series of decorating my sister’s Chicago apartment, today I’m featuring this painted Ikea Tullsta chair. My sis really wanted a yellow chair to brighten up her living room. We couldn’t find one at a reasonable price, so I suggested she just paint one. We decided on this Ikea chair. We used Simply Spray Fabric Paint in Brite Yellow (about 10 cans total). We also spray painted the legs of the chair gold. I love the way the chair turned out! Add an equally bright cushion for an extra pop of color!

1. Work on a protected work surface.

2. Following the instructions on the can, start by painting the chair cushion.

3. Begin by painting the front of the chair. *Remove or cover the chair legs if you don’t intend on spray painting them later*

4. Work your way around the chair. We found that the paint would not soak in quickly enough in certain spots so dripping would occur. Use a paper towel to rub away the drips.

Remove the legs to easily spray paint, let dry and reattach.That’s it! Let the chair dry for a few hours before sitting or placing any pillows.
