Before and After chair makeover

Last summer I picked up these 2 chairs at a garage sale for a total of $5.00.  When I brought them home my husband thought that I was crazy.  They were old, dirty, smelly and

if you look close you will notice one of them has a broken arm.  I had always wanted to try to makeover something and for $5.00 it was worth a try.
After removing the seat, changing the padding and attaching new fabric I removed the arms.  I Filled the holes with wood putty, sanded, primed and painted...


I LOVE THEM!!!

Love them!! I've always wanted to make something over like that as well. I have dreams of a kitchen table with an assortment of mismatched chairs that are painted funky colors.

Fabulous. What kind of paint do you use and how do you apply it?

Ashley said...

I love the chairs! I have a single chair that I have envisioned the same look for! I have to ask if you could please email me the fabric details? Those colors are perfect together & the exact color scheme that I'm looking for.
