Mini office 1

I love the sofa and had wondered if fabric could be painted. Do you mind sharing how you did that, and did you seal it after you painted? Looks really nice and tailored, very officey and cozy.

Great idea painting the sofa. It turned out great.

I took a scrap of the silk fabric I used on the chair kit to Lowes and had paint matched to the scrap color.  It turned out that the paint had a slight gloss, which I did not like, so I sanded the sofa lightly after painting.

 

If I had it to do over, I would use flat paint with no sheen.  I probably should have had some flat paint mixed, and repainted it but I was running out of time.  The sheen does not show so much in the room box, it shows more in the photo because of the flash, I think.

 

It is just regular latex wall paint.  The sofa was a calico print and I just painted over it.  Very easy.  I had seen tutorials online where people are painting real-life fabric chairs and sofas and they water down the paint, but I did not water it down.

Thanks! I have some outdated mini upholstery pieces and going to use your technique:-))
