DIY Blogger Chair
I had a good number of people to ask me how I created the Blogger Chair. I posted it on Tuesday’s Getting Organized, Cont’d post where I finished up explaining how to organize your digital world. It is so simple
I got the idea to create a blogger chair from a fellow blogger, the name of which I have racked my brains and cannot remember! If anyone has seen this chair before, please let me know so that I may give credit where it is due.
I loved the message and the way that this chair showed the depth and design on this classic chair properly. I loved it, but it doesn’t exactly go with my design style. So I decided that the sincerest form of flattery is imitation!
I got started in my handy dandy work space with an example of what I wanted my chair to look like. I scoured the interweb for hours searching for “Modern Chair Silhouette” until I came across this gorgeous silhouette. I love pretty much everything that Eero Saarinen designed, and I guessed that this Organic Armchair was a pretty recognizable mid-century modern chair. I thought it would be simple enough for me to do quickly and would be something fun to post on my site! I printed this picture (it doesn’t matter if it is pixilated since you are tracing it) and broke out the tracing paper.
I used a pencil because I am notorious for needing to erase. It has been a bit since I sat for any amount of time with tracing paper and a pencil, so I forgot to keep my hand from resting on the paper, and I ended up with a few smudges (thank you, Photoshop!). After I finished writing out my blogging phrases, I scanned this in and voila…here you have it!
Think outside the box – you can take any silhouette and write a message inside of it. You could even do this in vibrant colors for beautiful homemade wall art!
What will you do with this idea? Get creative with it!
Love how organized your space is!
Thanks! I haven’t been keeping my craft closet up like I should, but once I get it really cleaned up I’ll do a post on it.
