I would say that if you ate the brown and are never going to appreciate having them in your house, to go for it! I didn't hate the blue ottoman, but I was willing to take a risk and get it reupholstered if I ruined it. Turns out, I LOVE it and now it fits in my room and I am proud to say I did it myself!<br /><br />Question for Amy - Did you do any removal of the original sealer/topcoat that was on the leather before stenciling?Kaitlynhttp://luckyno21.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1894941228318204664.post-12020623519660429452012-01-26T16:42:35.319-08:002012-01-26T16:42:35.319-08:00Stopped over from YHL...Even though there were pro...Stopped over from YHL...Even though there were problems with these chairs, your stenciling job is amazing. <br /><br />A few years ago I made the mistake of purchasing a dresser from Overstock. The dresser came with no instructions and when put together the drawers were wonky and didn't slide in and out easily. Though Overstock is inexpensive, the quality, in my case, left much to be desired and not worth the expense to ship back.<br /><br />~ SueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1894941228318204664.post-83657036531077364222011-11-25T14:35:54.503-08:002011-11-25T14:35:54.503-08:00Personally I would not dare paint a brown leather ...Personally I would not dare paint a brown leather chair white all over - I think it could be done though. Yes this paint definately works on fake leather! All the chairs I have painted thus far have been fake leather.

Can you use this paint on " fake" leather? also, that is too bad about your white leather chairs from overstock, I love those!
