Updated Accent Chair

I purchased an accent chair on Craiglist for $15.00. The woman said it was her great grandmother's chair, and I was excited to redo the chair. Here is how the chair looked before:





I painted it with leftover gray paint and found some remnant fabric at Joann's to use for the cushion. I ended up not having the time or patience to redo the upholstery myself. It needed an expert for that, so I was about to send to an antique shop nearby, and the gentlemen got it back to me in four days. Here is the finished product:



I am excited with the way it turned out, and I plan on using it with the desk I redid a few months back.  Thank you for stopping by!

  5. Love it! The new cushion looks so much more sleek. Upholstery can be hard to attempt (I never have), sometimes it's best to get professionals involved...except when it involved sewing :). Regardless, that is a beautiful chair. I hope it helps inspired you as you sit at your desk.
