i finally finished my chair makeover.
it sure is harder than it looks.
i started this makeover about 4 months ago.
i quickly painted, removed the existing fabric, and began to re-upholster.
then i got frustrated, so i stopped.
the torn up chair sat in the corner of my living room piled high with fabric and batting.
it haunted me daily.
then my mom arrived and 3 hours later, it was DONE!
what a relief.
i still need to finish stuffing the seat and back cushion but i am SO excited to be almost done i couldn’t wait to share.
i am in love.
much better than a pile of fabric in the corner!
project cost:
chair – $15.00
main fabric -$9.00
back fabric- $12.00
white paint – free (already had)
batting – $3.00 (40% off coupon at joanns)
trim – $3.50 (40% off coupon at joanns)
total: $42.50
i am so excited about how the back turned out.
i love the unexpected pattern.
what do you think?

>Your chair came out beautifully! I love that the fabric on the back of the chair is different. I noticed that you didn't use piping on the chair and I'm so happy to see how nicely it came out without it! I'm going to give it a try. I have a similar chair that I just painted white! Thanks for showing me the way!

>LOVE! I can't believe the transformation. I've probably walked past chairs like these a million times without seeing the potential. You can bet I'll do a double-take next time for sure! Nicely done!
