DIY Chair Makeover

A few weeks ago I had purchased a cute little mahogany desk to use for my sewing machine.  

I wanted something small that I could sit in front of a window for tedious projects.

Then I set out to find a cheap but adorable chair for my desk.

I found the perfect size chair but it was a little outdated for me.

I loved the detail across the top. 

Hated the old seat.

I removed all the hardware and took the seat off to recover.

The fabric was very well-worn and there were 

dozens of staples and nails of varying ages.

It must have been repair many times over the years.

Below is the woodboard that was weathered but still good.

I always have a fabric stash and some foam pieces handy so

that I'm ready when inspiration hits me.

I replaced the cushion and added a rose patterned cover.

It was pretty quick and easy.

Then it was just a matter of polishing it up with a good furniture

polish to bring back the shine of the natural wood.

I loved it when I got it in the family room and sat it in front of my desk.

 

It is the perfect chair and now it sits great too. 

Thanks for visiting with me today.
