Ikat covered chairs for the desk!

We’ve finished two chairs for the desk!

We started with a counter height dining set

from the bottom, we measured 6″on the table legs and chairs

then used our chop saw to make it a standard desk height

Chairs were lightly sanded and given a coat of primer and two top coats of SW Mega Greige

The seats were removed and wrapped in 1.5″ inch foam, batting and fabric – Waverly Seeing Spots in Wasabi

batting and fabric were pulled tight and stapled underneath

By the way … the foam is from Home Depot, the other day David and I were walking through and saw giant slabs of 3″ foam for $20 (this would of cost a lot more elsewhere … ) has anyone else seen foam at Home Depot!? I was back this weekend and didn’t see it, so maybe it was a fluke?

Anyways, since 3″ was too tall for the chairs we cut it in half with a sharp filet knife. If you are cutting foam, I highly recommend using a very sharp kitchen knife, it cuts so easily!

I am loving the lighter look in the office area!

I love how the ikat repeats on the chair, desk and draperies

I am still looking for a desk chair to swap out but haven’t found one … actually … I let a beautiful Eames aluminum desk chair slip out of my fingers for an amazing price … I still think about that

here’s hoping I find one soon!

Up next – finishing the sofa table and pulling together the rest of the office, stay tuned!
