Chair Make Over

Here we go with another money saving, easy, fixer-upper from the thrift store down the street. I LOVE the way this turned out! This chair has definitely seen better days. It was a whopping $12 at the thrift store. A little on the higher-priced end, but I knew this chair would be beautiful when it was done, so I couldn't resist it!

First I started with taking the "wings" off the sides of the head rest, which made a huge difference.

Next, the frumpy cushion had to go.

Down to the bare bones and ready for two coats of black spray paint.

While the pain was drying, I re-upholstered the seat. Thank heavens for the wonderful invention of the staple gun!

Turned out ok. I am a little disappointed that the seat isn't centered better on the material. A small detail that will probably drive me insane, but oh well.

Ta da!! The finished product! Beautiful!

The pillow gives an added bit of color. I love the way this chair turned out, it is just as beautiful as I had hoped it would be. Perfect for my living room!
