Before and After

So I bought this chair a while back at a house sale for around $6. I had visions of it becoming my little chair to sit on in the foyer of my new place as I put my shoes on... haha is that kind of nerdy??






Anyway, of course it needed a total makeover. The seat fabric was totally ugly and not to mention completely dusty and dirty, and the wood needed a fresh coat of paint.


This is the fabric I decided to go with. It was either between this or a great pink wood grain fabric. I bought both but decided to go with this one because it seemed to be a sturdier fabric. I bought this lovely fabric here.













This is the paint color. I don't remember the name of it off hand but as you can see it is a turquoise color. I got the paint at Wal-Mart.










And here is the final product! With the help of my mom I painted, sanded and recovered the seat. We just took off the old fabric and stapled on the new!














I am very pleased with how it turned out. Now if only I would hear for sure about my potential new place.......
