Sometime time last year I picked up this chair from Habitat for Humanity. I knew I wanted a really comfortable single chair in the corner of Bostons room so I went looking around. I came across some really fun chairs being sold at furniture stores and online; but their price tags were in the thousands of dollars region… a little out of my league.
So on one of my trips out to my favourite second hand stores I spotted this chair.
I found it really comfortable for an oldie but it was in dire need of some love; so I brought it home. The chair only cost me $10. Not bad I think.
I set about removing the old fabric, it was a hideously dusty job.
I must have picked out a million nails, pins and old staples. Very tedious.
I flipped it over and painted the legs.
Then lined the bottom cushion of the chair with clean fabric.
I went out today and bought some new fabric to cover the chair with. I LOVE it. It’s so bright and cheerful, I can’t wait to see the end result.
Want a sneak peek of the fabric?
Let’s hope I can pull this off!
