A "New" Chair


I was really excited about this rummage sale find.  I picked up this beautiful chair for $2.50!!  I thought about painting it, but the aged look to the finish grew on me, so I left that part as is -- well, I did scrub it really well to get it nice and clean.  It needed a new cushion ($5) and new fabric to recover.

The fabric I chose was a corduroy floral print from the Lisette line (from Oliver + S) which I picked up at Jo-Ann.  I found it on clearance (and with a coupon), I only spent $1 on the fabric.  Yay!  If you'd like to read about how to recover chairs --- go here.

Love how it looks!  And I love that I spent less than $10 on the whole thing!

  1. Love it. I like the worn look of the original wood finish too. Good choice to leave it as-is.
