before & after

For the first time in a long time (maybe ever) I have more blog ideas than I have time. I'm going to start to "catch up" by sharing my most favorite project this year...the re-covering of my garage sale chair. This chair was $35 and is turning out to be the best money I've ever spent. It began life in the 1980s and was probably the accent piece in a room of pastels. I recovered it hastily with a paisley sheet 3 years ago, which was cute but not very durable. So this year I decided it was time to make it a "big girl" chair and bring it into a new decade (much like myself).

Found fabric at Calico Corners, had a little help with the seat cushion covers, but covered the rest myself.

Ta-da!
