OK folks, here it is... my first blog post! I have been wanting to do a blog for a while and have been putting off getting started. So at 11PM here I sit instead of being on the treadmill, I am blogging! Be patient, it might take some time to get it slicked up around here! I have much more talent when it comes to tangible projects!
Well lets start off with a chair redo! On one of my treasure hunts I saw this out dated, forest green check chair for $4. It was very sturdy and the foam was in good shape. I thought it was a great deal and would be the perfect size for my daughter's room. It's not a small kids size chair but it's not full size either?? So it was perfect for my growing 7 yr old.
BEFORE
It was at this point when my husband walked through the door! He thought I had lost it when I told him that I had just bought this chair! (Oh, he has no idea what he is in for!)
And here is the AFTER. I didn't get a picture, but it looks cute in my daughters room against her butter yellow walls and bright tropical bedding.
With the trim, fabric and chair this project was a total of $20 and took me an evening to do! Not bad for an nice upholstered chair!

ReplyDeleteHow adorable is that?!!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteYou did that in one evening? You're amazing!
ReplyDeleteVery nice job. It doesn't look "home made" at all. That chair has a great shape and your really played to it's strengths.
ReplyDeleteI also love the vinyl window decals in the post above. Great idea!
Love this chair!
ReplyDeleteVery nice ... would you consider doing a tutorial on how you did it? I'm particularly interested in the welting. I'm assuming you sewed that on a machine as you normally would but then how do you attach it to the chair?
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love it. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI like it! I recently scored a great chair that I would like to recover, would you be willing to post directions on how-to? I've never done it before and not sure how to start!
ReplyDeleteWOW, did you do this all by your adorable self?
ReplyDeleteI love it!
