My client's dining room chairs have also been transformed. The original look, which is similar to the look on the left ( sometimes I forget to take the before photo) was a combination of brown leather and a brown patterned chenille. Very nice. To update the look I kept the leather and changed the fabric to a vivacious velvet stripe from Designers Guild. As you might have guessed we're adding color to the rooms. I love the change.
