Default Chair and drawers

Magda Ola, loved your handiwork - chair and drawers are beautiful. You mentioned you used vinyl on the drawers - is this like contact or more like a vinyl table cloth but with adhesive on the back? Thinking about doing something similar myself!

Default chair and chest of drawers

Fabulous job Magda. You are very artistic. What sort of paint did you use on the legs of the chair. Did you cover over the plastic of the chair of remove it? I have a chair like it that the OT gave my husband and it is very ugly and I Would love to brighten it up.

To Flossed:
that's more like contact, it's not a table cloth. I'm not sure when you can get something like that in Ireland, cause I bought it in Poland. But I saw something similar in B&Q but don't remember the name. And it was in small rolls and mine is in quite big, so it was enough for a chest of drawers.

To earthprince:
the legs were painted with spray paint bought in Woodies; that paint is the best to paint accesories or furniture, it does not leave any marks like a brush;

the original cover on the chair was leather; I covered over it; it was in quite good condition just the colour was absolutely horrible;
