Lara used a flat white outdoor spray paint for the base of the chairs and hobby style paint for the centers of the flowers. They match the fabric from the laundry bag perfectly and the process was almost foolproof in her words since she used a stencil for the centers. Lara reports she spent $24.54 at Michael's and $6.99 on the laundry bag at Target brings the total for the project to roughly $32! This was a great project for very little out of pocket costs. Great work!

This is the cutest thing I've seen! This appealed to me not only because it is adorable but I saw it just as I was doing a Craig's list search for patio furniture! Now I'll just obsess over finding one just like it!
Adorable!
I've been trying to ignore the Orla advertorials on AT, but this DIY is awesome! Well done!
Great way to translate the stool DIY! Especially love the paint on the flowers on the chair. Very cute!!!
I love it!
A very good place to sit a spell, especially on a bad day. Great job, Laura!
saw this on livejournal, still love it!
Why, oh why do people love Orla Kiely????
Uh- this is adorable.
KTG, why does "the fascination with this particular designer" escape you? I mean everyone is entitled to their opinion but such a comment is a little uncalled for. You like the chair, period..if the fabric was orla kiely or a no name designer is not really the point here.
I happen to like this chair. Kudos Lara!!
I am not fond of Orla Kiely, either -- but the chair is cute and a great implementation of the fabric. Coordinating what you do to the paint job with what you do with fabric makes the total effect very custom and pulled together.
That chair is cute!
For any Orla fans out there, did you know she's contributing to a charity project to raise money for homeless charities. It's called 'A Little Piece of Mind' - It's a quilt made from loads of original fabric squares from various designers and artists, it's a great idea and for a good cause! Check it out
