Saw off about 5/6 of the chair (leave about 6 to 8 centimeters). You can paint it any colour you like - before or afterwards, it doesn't matter.

This idea came from G.V.M from the Netherlands, all credit goes to him/her. You can find the original instructions on ikeahackers.net - search for "bedroom dress boys"
