I recognise that fabric!!!! I think I gave that to you. It looks really wonderful on the chair. Great transormation on both the pieces. Well done!

Oh my God they are absolutely fantastic. That chair is so bright and cheerful it would cheer anybody up on a dull wet Irish morning. Well done and thanks for sharing. Regards

Wonderful job magda ola that chair is a real feature now and you did a complete Cinderella job on the chest of drawers. You'll have to tell us how you did it!

Hello to everybody,
first of all thanks for so nice words. I'm happy that you like them.
And about the drawers: that's veneer, well kind of veneer. It comes in a roll and it's something like a foil. On one side is a design and the other side is self adhesive. It just have to be cutted to size.

And unapam thanks for the material again. It took a while to do something with it, but I was waiting for the right chair.

Anne (Gormal) I have a project for the fabric I've got from you. I will do a roman blind for a small box bedroom. It will actually take a while. I just need to find a place to get a mechanism for roman blinds.
Will somebody actually know where can I get that?

Gormal · **Posted: 06-05-2010 , 06:50 PM** #14

I don't know about the kits, but you can make one with lengths of doweling, brass/plastic rings, cord and a weight for the bottom. An old friend of mine made some years ago from scratch, I'm trying to remember if she weighed the bottom down or just used the doweling.
If you google DIY roman blind or roman blind tutorial you will find a few.
