What do you think?

I made a start on the cane lounges. The rattan has been removed and the edges have been sanded. But I can't decide on whether to paint them white????? What do you think???







Also I am not 100% sure of the fabric. Will it look good on a verandah?? Is it too bright??
I was kinda hoping ti would fade nicely and look more worn as time goes on.


As you can see I haven't sewed them yet as I am just not 100% convinced. It definitely needs more scatter cushions too!!

Love some ideas for where to take this project.

  1. I want that cane lounge!! Exactly what I am after, I will find one! I like the cane look, more vintagey, I think white is more the shabby look. I like your cushions, I think they will look lovely too as they fade. I don't think its too bright. I had in mind, blue and white stripe ikea fabric cause its nice and thick for when I make some covers for my yet to be found cane lounge!

  2. I really like them in original cane colour as well. The other fabric option would be using some of your cool vintage floral sheets?

    Yeah I considered floral but Hubby wasn't so keen.

  4. I love the style of this. I'd paint it white and recover it using drop cloths :)

  5. Ok off to investigate ddrop clothes, might make an excellent second set of covers.
    I am thinking of selling our current couches and just using these until we decide on a new couch so it would be great to have another set of covers.
