French print fabric!

French script is all the rage in shabby chic design. Use these examples as inspiration for sprucing up old pieces into something fresh and new.  I took a tired old bench and gave it a fresh coat of paint and French print fabric. 

A vanity stool got a quick update with a quick spray of satin finish black and a new seat in the same fabric.

An ice cream parlour chair looks adorable with only a change of fabric on the seat.  The iron on the chair frame had a lovely worn patina that was perfect.

 

Junking proved a gem this time when I found a coffee table with a fiber board top so ugly that no one else picked it up.  After adding a foam seat and French print fabric and paint, it's a fantastic bench!

A vanity stool is so cute with this makeover using duo spray paint, and new French fabric.










And last but not least, an old brass lamp that had seen better days.  The tired brass finish was just waiting for a pick me up.  This was achieved with duo satin finish spray paint which is more durable than regular paint.  The shade is covered with French print fabric and trimmed in burlap rickrack.  All you need for these projects is a little imagination, paint and fabric!
