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!

the chair turned out beautiful. great makeover.
The chair turn out fab! I get so excited to see these kind of makeovers and want to try one myself. I still have yet to do that. I get a little nervous, that I'll be in the middle of it and get so frustrated that I'll give up! sigh, sigh!
Oh I just LOVE this one!!
I love that chair it had great solid lines and now it sings. I especially like the back fabric. Keep up the great work!

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!

I am in love with that chair and the pillow! I want to find a chair like that and redo it for my office. I am on the hunt!
What a great transformation! I love the fabric on the back.
Very cool! I love the choice of colors and that pillow is wonderful too!
I'd love to know how you did the back fabric and the back of the chair. I have the exact same chair that I plan on redoing, but I have no idea how to do that part! Looks great!
looks delicious now!
Great job. Have you thought about adding some tufting detailing to the back cushion? It looks like it would be relatively easy to do. I did this with my headboard and also some pillows with success. Where did you get the fabric used on the drapes?
