My newest old chair.

Finally done the chair I started re-covering 6 months ago! Well, almost. All that's left are the tufting buttons and the wooden dowels I seem to have misplaced (oops), so don't mind the golf tees that are holding the whole thing up. But still! I covered the cushions first, then I decided to redo the canvas part as well. The only original part are the wooden legs and the rope. Thanks to my Aunt Donna (who's brilliant!) it's done! She helped me take the gross brown canvas apart to use it as the pattern for putting together the blue canvas. So smart. Took a bunch of figuring out, and a couple machine issues, but we did it! I'm still thinking I might paint the legs or something...maybe re-stain them? I'm not a huge fan of the light wood, but I don't know yet... Comment with your thoughts/suggestions!

Here's a few photos for you...

Remember this?

Then this...

Now this!

makeover.

Love this before and after I saw on design*sponge! Apparently the paint was purchased for $1.00 in the "mis-tint" section at the paint store - I didn't know that existed!

on the backburner.

Just some fun things I spotted on Simply Grove today while blog hopping. Add them to my list of "must attempt". More furniture makeovers, chair recovering, and fun pillows.

a long awaited makeover.

This old chair has seen a couple decades of use. It's been around as long as I can remember, so it's kind of like a security blanket for me. Unfortunately, that brown corduroy is disgusting. It's so full of stains that we would cover the chair with a blanket so no one would notice. The design of the chair is so awesome though...I had to find a way to keep it. So, I got a bit creative and recovered the cushions. I also made some side panels to fit. It's not quite finished (The dark brown sling part is also in rough shape) - but it's definitely an improvement!
