My Très Chic Chair Makeover

My $3.00 garage sale find...all it needed was a little bit of paint and a new upholstery job! This was my inspiration, and I used this tutorial as a guide.

Before...can we say 1970's?


After.....Très Chic!!!



Detail work on frame:


Detail work on legs:


It was SO easy!!!

$3.00 chair
$3.50 paint
Leftover material from another project, free...I was able to reuse the seat cushion after I pulled the old upholstery material off
Total cost of project: $6.50!
Worth of chair (at least to me, haha!)...priceless!


This little shabby chic chair's new home will be in the office in front of my desk...now you'll know what I'm sitting on when I'm writing blogs!
