Hey Y'all!
First, can I just say that I've been missing you?
Because I have :)
& Second... are you ready for a little chair re-do action?
You are?
GREAT, cause that's what I've got for ya!
Are we on the same page, or what?

I scooped this old gal up from GW [Goodwill, y'all] for $2.99!
I liked that she had a little bit of curve, but wasn't TOO dainty.
I started by taking her seat cushion off, because uhm...EW.
It was discolored and funky and I was afraid of what was waiting for me under there!
4 screws later and that bad boy was on the ground.
As you can see, I had good reason to be frightened of what was lurking under that lovely brown embossed faux leather. Ick.
To save you from having to look at that nastiness anymore, whatdaya say we go ahead and recover that funk?
There you go! Crisp, clean white! You can't go wrong.
Ready to paint? Me too. I sanded it down just a tad first!
My favorite part to paint on chairs is the underside, because it gives the best views :)
Not a cloud in the sky! The weather has been amazing here.
I waited a day to make sure she was good and dry, and then I reapplied her clean new cushion!
Wowsa! See? She just needed a little makeup and a new outfit!
Chair: $2.99 at GW
Fabric: $1.00 in remnant bin at fabric store
Paint: Free! Glidden- Robin's Egg
Sometime last year I found a link on a decor blog abt taking a survey on Glidden's website and in return they would send you free paint! DEAL!
TOTAL: $3.99 + 3 hours
