| Quite a few months ago I shared this awesome vintage chair that I found a GoodWill. First off I NEVER find anything there and secondly it was in immaculate condition so it had to come home with me. It just needed a make over thats all. Mind you I have NEVER done upholstery before so it sat and sat and sat. |
 |
| Eventually I came up with this plan. I loved the fabric but then.... |
 |
| I stumbled upon this fun fabric. I admit it is not my norm but I loved all the bright fun colors. It just makes ya smile!:) It reminds me of my friend Jennifer who guided me thru the upholstery process. She is a superhero when it comes to upholstery! |
 |
| I added the upholstery tacks and let me say I was on the verge of throwing things around in the garage trying to get these on. A few dirty words did fly from my lips but hey I was by myself. I had to redo the first row I had started on and they were all bending. I was fit to be tied and then it dawned on me this morning that I just needed to use the smallest drill bit possible and drill pre holes. It worked like a charm! I could have hit myself for not thinking of that earlier. It was certainly a "DUH" moment! |
 |
| The tacks go all the way around the chair and I just love them because if you look closely you can see that they mimic the floral pattern in the fabric. |
 |
| I think she turned out just fabulous and I am so glad I was able to save her and give her a second life! Hope your week is going well! Linking up to the following Linky Parties: |
Don't forget about Treasure Hunt Thursday happening right now! We have almost 60 entries and would love to have ya party along with us!
