So when I started blogging I was so intrigued by all these women who are so crafty and good at decorating their cute homes! I moved into a beautiful house with absolutely no decor. I needed a place to start. I read some blogs for inspiration and headed to the DI. I found this chair for $25 and thought to myself, I definitely don't think I can do this, but I sure am going to try. After 4 trips to Hobby Lobby, 10 hours, and a lot of frustration I managed a decent re upholstery job. I'll do better next time I promise. I just made it up as I went along so I would look at a more experienced blog if you want to try this for yourself, but here goes....
First I sprayed the wood legs white...
Proof of Purchase...
Tearing off the ugly blue fabric...
Gizmo already loves this chair!
I started from the bottom up, because.... I have no idea why. That's just the way I did it.
The arms were a b-word to figure out. I finally managed a pretty cool twisty thing.
Why did I pick the curvy chair for my first project? Almost gave up at this point, but pushed through.
Hallefrickenlujah... the chair is reupholstered
What do I do about this? Hobby Lobby here I come...
Black lace is what I do with that!
Husband finished product comment: "Oh it's your slut chair."
(explanation- i guess the black lace turned it into a slut chair-so funny!)
Of course Gizmo loves this white chair and has already gotten dirt all over one of the arms. Now there's a blue Utah jazz blanket permanently draped over the seat and arms which ruins any attempt at decorating this room. I need to find a cute throw to go there instead. Dang Gizmo!
hehe... i love you so much & i think your first attempt at reupholstering was a total success. another idea for the black lace seam could be gold button tacks or something... but i think it should forever remain the slut chair. bahaha.
