I have these two chairs that I saved from a thrift store about 4 years ago. I loved the bright green velvet and caning and at $40 for the pair, I just couldn't leave them behind.
I always thought when the time came that I'd freshen the chairs up with a nice clean coat of white paint and reupholster them in a classic ticking stripe. Just go all out uber preppy with the caning combination.
But then I saw this image and now I can't get it out of my head! Bergere chairs done in a vibrant lime green ikat. LOVE! I'm such a sucker for a bold and modern pattern on a traditional form.
Does anyone out there recognize that fabric? The closest I've come is this one from Kravet.
I can tell it's not the same though (the inspiration chair seems to have more green and less white in the fabric). I know it's certainly a passable alternative but I'd love to find that actual fabric. Oh and there's also the fact that the Kravet fabric is $33.50/yard and there's a 15 yard minimum here. Um...no. That's not working for me.
Help? I know my chairs aren't this same style but maybe it could work? Or do you think it will be too much with the caning?
