Rhonda's Chair

So, I received a chair from my boss and blog-reader Rhonda and of course couldn't resist the redo opportunity.  I ordered these three fabrics not sure which one I wanted to use and decided on the gray birds.  I had to do some rearranging in my room to make it work but am so excited to get in all done.  I started with sanding it down I put a coat of primer.  While waiting for the primer to dry I tackled the cushion, not a hard project at all.  Added a couple coats of spray paint and waited for it to dry.  Always unsure I'm gonna like the color or not I hymned and hawed wondering if I should go a shade brighter or add third coat to ensure the best coverage- something I should have done with the "pink" chair but rushed myself too much.  I am in the process of using the blue bird print to make a pillow cover for my wicker settee and I have some faux fur pillows in my bedroom I am going to bring done to my family room for fall/winter. I also changed up my curtains.
