Hey IOD family! Today, we have a fun project that transforms plain garden chairs into delightful, charming pieces perfect for a screen porch. Leaning into the vintage eclectic look, we used three different transfers to create unique designs, but you can also use the same transfer set for all the chairs if you prefer.
Before we get started, we want to remind you that IOD transfers are not for outdoor use as they will fade with sun exposure and don’t hold up to the elements. So, you’ll want to make sure these chairs are placed indoors or in an area shielded from the sun and elements.
Whether you choose to follow our eclectic approach or stick to a single transfer set, you’ll end up with absolutely adorable pieces that bring personality and charm to your space. Let's get started and see which of the three designs inspires you the most!
