Paint & Reupholster A Wood Chair, step by step

When Angie sent over her plain and inspiring chair makeover we enjoyed the outcome so much we had to share it. Here is her letter:

I enjoy your style and your journal. I simply got into blogs a few months ago and yours is a must read every day! I am so excited to share my before and after chair makeover. I purchased it at the Ann Arbor ReUse Center for $5.00. After I took out the seat cushion and a ridiculous number of staples, I patched, sanded and primed the chair. I picked up some new foam for the seat on sale at Joann’s and painted the chair with some white trim paint I had on hand from other paint jobs in our house. To cover the seat I picked up a half yard of this funky fabric from the monaluna mingle collection on Etsy. Thanks for the daily inspiration! -Angie

Here is the bleak before:

Did not Angie do an remarkable job? Feel free to drop in on her journal for more details. We enjoy how plain this project truly is and how anyone can do it on a serious budget with a fantastic result. Glad chair covering to one and all!
