Chair make over

After
My sad little saggy chair before her face-lift
I’ve finally finished the chair makeover that I started months ago! I bought it at the Jamison Rotary Trash 'n Treasure for $5.

The fabric I used was originally curtains; a friend bought them at an op-shop with me in mind.

I pulled the whole thing apart and threw out the old padding. I used quilting (bought at an op shop as well of course) to fatten up the base and back. My trusty staple gun got a good workout! There was no sewing involved in this project which was a nice change.

I was thinking about painting the wooden frame with white gloss paint but the natural varnished wood has a natural charm J

  1. Ooh I LOVE this chair, you've done such a beautiful job with it Tahlia! I'm so glad you didn't paint the wood white too! :)
