My Earth Day Link is a little late, but I wanted to share my chair rescue.
This little beauty was left over after an estate sale I did, so the owner let me keep it- for FREE! The green can be a little deceiving, but it is one of the most comfortable chairs- and it rocks! I took off the skirt, gave it a coat of black paint and took the cushions to my upholstery guy. Here's the after...
Here's a closer look...
The fabric is from a roll we purchased at a yard sale for $3.00- This is the third project I've been able to use it on. Although upholstery work is not cheap, it was totally worth it to revamp this chair- It has become a family favorite. For those curious readers- the antique post leaning against the wall was a recent $3 find at a garage sale. Let me know what you think. Love, Kelly

I found this same chair at a thrift store several years ago, and started reupholstering it X number of years ago and still need to complete it! I do agree though - it is a SUPER comfy chair! I'm re-doing mine is a hunter green/cream small checkered pattern. Years ago I would have never thought to paint the chair, but after following numerous blogs and seeing what some paint can do, I most likely will paint the chair as well, when I finally get around to finishing this chair!
ReplyDeleteMy grandparents have that same chair except the fabric was orange. And you are right, it's super comfy. You're redo looks great! I don't find half the stuff you do but I'm always inspired of what to look for :)
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the chair, it looks gorgeous black!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh what a score!! you did a superb job with the overhaul, too. beautiful in black and khaki!

ReplyDeleteLoving the chair especially the price! How's your wedding $ goal coming?
ReplyDeleteBrilliant - I love it! It looks totally different without the skirt and with a coat of paint. Good job.
