New Life, Chair Reupholstered Guest

Workshop

Materials and the sequence of the job sit together on this page.

This party link is such a fun makeover, and I love the chair itself so much character! Mandi at Vintage Revivals did a great job, don’t you think?


Hello! I am back from a crazy stressful month in Salt Lake and I am glad to be home. I miss everyone so bad though, apparently you cant have the best of both worlds. But being home gave me some time to finish this chair. I bought the fabric at Home Fabrics in Sandy (Fah-reakin memorable!) it was $5.99 a yard. I died right when I saw it. It goes perfectly in my living room……which you guys have no clue what it looks like because the dog ate my camera cord. But here it a little preview. So here is what I did, I primed with Kilz and painted 2 coats of Krylon Classic Grey which in my opinion is the well fitted Grey. I unpicked all of the stitching on the cushions and basically used them as a pattern and reconstructed it the same way I took it apart. Turned out pretty good don’t you think?

                         Before After I couldn’t find the type of buttons that I needed, the ones that the chair came with kind iof looked like a dumbbell. So I spray painted them black. It actually turned out really cute they look like black velvet. The buttons are kind of camouflaged so this is a close up. Buttons on the back Total Cost of This Treasure: Chair: $8.00 Fabric: 2 yards @ $5.99/yd =$11.98 Primer: $2.00 Paint: $2.69 Grand Total: $20.67 Great new look for a low Price!   Great Job!
