His & Hers Pillow Covers
I shared my painted upholstered chairs…
I also liked that the Serena & Lily chair {my inspiration for the stripe} had matching accent pillows.
I just so happened to have 2 matching pillow cases on hand. What are the chances? I have had them just sitting in a basket in my craft room along with the other supplies. I love when DIY project was meant to be! {Chairs are actually a light grey and the pillows are a linen color…but they look so well together!}
Materials:
- FrogTape
- two pillow covers
- latex paint
- acrylic craft paint
- stencils
I measured the width of the stripes on the chairs and using FrogTape,I created the same stripe on the front of my pillow covers. I did insert a piece of cardboard to prevent paint from soaking through the back side. I filled in my stripe with the brown latex paint that I used on the chairs. I removed the FrogTape and let them dry. Then simply used stencils to spell out “His” and “Hers” (using an acrylic craft paint). I’ve read that you can set the paint with a warm iron.
I also liked that some of the fabric shows through for a worn look.
Awe…His & Hers
Now my chairs are complete! Christmas in the sitting room coming soon! 🙂

I still can’t believe how beautiful those chairs are. I read your post yesterday and now I’m seeing them again today. Those chairs are awesome. I never would have taken a second glance at them with the colorful print that they had before…
