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?
super cute — i need an upholstery teacher … he he.
Hopefully I’ll have a happy post like this soon (I’m venturing to do the couch!!)
Love this!
great job! I love the shape of the chair and it looks so fresh in white – love the fabric on the back – an nice surprise 🙂
LOVE, I have been so afraid to attempt this and just stare at craigslist longingly. I love the pillow too!
Love love love it! Sinead
um, love it! aren’t moms great…i have a cane back chair that i’m re doing too (actually two) and i can’t figure out how to get the darn seat cusion out, i think i have to pry it out. it was made so long ago when they did a really good job of constructing furniture 🙂
It looks soooo great! I love that you chose a different fabric for the back of the chair!
Very cute chair. I especially love the crisp white paint with the blue and the contrasting back fabric (I guess the whole thing!). I can’t tell you how happy I was to see I’m not the only one that sometimes takes longer than planned with their projects!! I also have a mom who rocks at stuff like that. I love it when she comes to town too.
Wow. This is SO GREAT! love it…want it 🙂 Great job!
Love this Danielle! So fun to see your work! I too love the fabric on the back! Great touch:)
You did such an amazing job with this, your chair turned out stunning! I love the fabric choices 🙂

ooh, ooh! I love the back too!
Also love your living room with the new rug. You and I have different styles, but I can still totally appreciate yours!
Gorgeous transformation! Love the story, too. I have a wing back chair sitting in my living room in a partially undone state, right now. This might be the motivation I need to finish it off. Thanks for sharing.
The chair turned out amazing. I saw it over at Remodelaholic. I would love for you to stop by and join my link party that opens tonight at 8pm EST. This would be an awesome post to link up. Hope to see you then.
OH WOW, I am in love with the chair now, CAN”T EVEN believe how beautiful it looks. That pillow is just delicious, so fun, and bright, and perfect. I found you at Remodeloholic, and ran over here to see the talent behind the chair.
