The key to styling and re-styling a piece of furniture is to start with a great, timeless piece. You want a blank slate as much as possible, and this chair is perfect answer to that problem. White is obviously a really good neutral base, but this chair, for example, comes in more than 30 color choices, many of which could act like a neutral in the right setting.

  1. Use your circle punch to clip out circles of vinyl along the short edge of the roll.
  2. When you get to the end, trim the weird little edges off the roll with a pair of scissors, and punch out another row of circles.
  3. When you have enough, just peel the backing off the circles, and stick them willy-nilly all over the chair (or wall!).
  4. When you get tired of them, peel ’em off!
