Glam'd up Wicker
Monday, June 27, 2011 at 3:50PM One of the great things about wicker is that it can be extremely inexpensive. Perfect for our budget bedroom make-over featured on this blog. What to do, then, when you need something that provides a little more "statement" than simple wicker? Paint it! More specifically, paint it a spark-ly metallic.
The bedroom space for a chair was limited and the budget even more so. We found this simple and streamlined chair at Ikea for $30. Perfect for the budget and just the right size... but a little plain for the space which needed something eye-catching in that corner.
The solution...spray paint.
A couple cans of silver metallic spraypaint later, we have a glam'd up version of the original. Simple to do, but takes the dull brown out of the equation and replaces it with a sparkle and shine to contrast with that beautiful blue wall.
The final step is to add a pillow for the seat.
Have fun with it. Make your own or buy one. Our end result cost about $40 and is perfect for the space.
