As I work on the finishing touches for my workspace (remember that weekend project), I'm left with a very plain and very white IKEA chair at my desk (I know, I know, ergonomics). I also have sheets of great wrapping paper from Paper Source and Flax just sitting in my closet as well as a bottle or two of Mod Podge. Decoupage anyone?
The chair in the photo was originally a plywood and metal chair that's been spray painted and decoupaged. I probably won't use a print that's so floral, but I think I'll opt for something just as bold (I've been dying to find a use for this pixel wrapping paper).
Full instructions on how to decoupage a chair can be found at Style at Home: Project - Decoupage Chairs.

I really like the sound of this idea. I wonder if it would be long lasting on chairs that get a lot of use... I think it could really cheer up my dining chairs.
I once did a tabletop with mod podge. It lasted a couple of years - even with wet and hot things being set on top of it occasionally. So, it ought to be moderately durable on a chair.
Great chair but can you provide the info on the cabinet behind it? I'm looking for similar pieces to convert into a craft cabinet and an office cabinet
vwings - It looks like Ikea's Ludvig Workstation.

This concept has possibilities. I think the floral paper in the example is a bit disturbingly photographic -- for some reason, I'd prefer it to be more painterly or otherwise less realistic. (Not clear to me whay that matters, but it does.) I do like the bright colors of the floral with the white chair, though.
I have a couple of rolls of African print paper I got at a flea market -- kind of a mudcloth look to it. That might make nice chair decoupage. Actually, any paper that reminds you of uholstery fabric would probably work, too.
I like the little murphy office, where is that from?

Britwash -- thanks for the direction, I thought it looked familiar! (ditto on the login)
