I spend a lot of time on Craigslist searching for great pieces of furniture to fix up. Unfortunately, I don’t always have the time or money to work on all of the great things I find. Enter, Craigslist Remix. We can all get the satisfaction of seeing a before and after (with a little Photoshop magic) even though I don’t have space in my garage to make it happen.
Of course, if you love something you see in a Craigslist Remix and can’t live without it, let me know and I’ll snag it from a Craigslist weirdo and fix it up for you!
First up
A set of four rattan back, cantilever chairs with a dirty/dusty pink cushion.
What grabbed my attention?
I loved the tied rattan back and the contrast with the metal cantilever legs.
Check out a past cantilever chair project if you aren’t sold on how cool they are.
Original
Option 1:
With clean light grey or white cushions:
Option 2:
With a fun tropical print to play off the rattan back
My favorite is Option 2 and I’m picturing these surrounded by plants for a real Jungalow look.
Fabric: Tommy Bahama Indoor/Outdoor Beach Bounty Lush Green
Thoughts
- Which is your favorite chair option? Do you hate them all?
- What other fabrics do you think would work on these?
- How would you use these chairs?
Currently Trying:
To refrain from buying these and filling my house with chairs
