Amazing Chair Reupholstry! From Old-Looking to Brand-New!
This project rates... out of anything I've ever done.... as the one I disliked the MOST while I was doing it!
BUT, this project also rates as the one I enjoy the MOST.... out of anything I've ever done.... EVERY SINGLE DAY!
Would you believe that I turned these:
Into these?!
I'm proud to say that the project only cost me about $20 total! The pair of chairs was free, and I re-used the padding, the cording.... even the upholstery nails. This project was done on a dime and completely upcycled. Yay!!!!
I sure learned a lot! But it will be a while before I tackle this kind of re-upholstery again. Just bein' honest. ;)
They look better in the day time... maybe I'll have to add some daytime photos.... :)
Here are a few process pictures - I was going to do a full-blown tutorial, but I'm sure there are good ones already out there somewhere AND I'm sure there are easier ways to do most of what I "figured out." But for what it's worth:

What a beautiful reupholstering project! Check out some more awesome chairs!
Wow what a great transformation! Love the new design on the chairs :)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to leave a comment on the site who submitted but I can't find the above project on her site? The linkback doesn't work? Am I missing something? Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteI love the chairs. I actually just did a similar style chair in a print as well: banclothing.blogspot.com. Although the chairs look fantastic the covered table with the baskets on top is a total buzz kill.
ReplyDeleteSo cool! Nice job:)
ReplyDeleteThey look amazing I actually said out loud. Oh WOW! Mimi xx
ReplyDeleteKudos! This is not an easy first project, but the end result is lovely.

I love love love this style of chair! And your fabric choice is really great!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Loving the fabric choice, I just finished taking upholstery classes, it's very satisfying to complete a project the right way, less frustration too. Stop by for a blog visit.
ReplyDeleteYour chairs turned out beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought of reupholstering some chairs!! For months now, I've had my eye on a pair from Big Lots but they cost 229.00 EACH!! I still can't bring myself to spend that much! None of my furniture cost that much!! :) I'm always scouring the local thrift store for great pieces to add to my home decor! Now I'm on a mission....! Thanks for the great idea!
Thanks for featuring my chairs! The linkback should be: http://wrenfrancesdesigns.blogspot.com/2011/04/before-and-after-2.html
