My Fantastic Chair Makeover
A Beautiful Update to an Old Chair
Are you tired of hearing me gush about my local Habitat for Humanity ReStore? So sorry but I keep finding some of the most awesome things there that end up becoming fabulous projects!
I found this cute chair – wing back with wood trim and casters – for $10.00! I was so excited and I already knew what I wanted to do to it. So with a fresh coat of paint on the wood and some fab new fabric, she has gone from drab to high style!
I started by removing all of the old fabric. I saved the pieces to use as patterns for the new fabric.
I painted the wood with a Valspar sample in Herb Cornucopia, then sealed it with Rust-Oleum Ultimate Polyurethane in Satin. I replaced the fabric with cute black and white duck cloth with hot pink piping.
I re-used the zipper for the new cushion, then added the fabric to the back. I spray painted the casters in Matte Aluminum, then secured them with Liquid Nails.
Don’t you think she looks much better? I’m going to put her in my flea market booth before I am tempted to keep her!

Cher just a couple of thoughts. First you are so talented. That upholstery job is wonderful and the colors are striking (whatever that means.). Second your Restore has a lot better prices than mine.
Thank you so much, Jake! I guess we’re lucky that our ReStore is so reasonably priced. I find tons of great deals there where I can’t find any at our local thrift store. They seem to be way overpriced! Thanks again!!
Gorgeous!! Love, love, love it! And $10?! Amazing snag!
Thank you, Jenna! It was such a great deal I couldn’t pass it up! I love how it came out and my daughter keeps trying to sweet-talk me into giving it to her! Thank you for stopping by!
you did a fabulous job on the make over
Thank you so much!! I really love it and want to keep it!! Stop by again soon!
Super impressed and you make me want to visit our ReStore again. We haven’t been since right after Christmas.
I am horribly obsessed and visit the ReStore every week! Is that bad?? Nah! Anyway, thank you for stopping by!
It turned out so darling! Not your everyday old wingback chair but a fun, flirty new version!
Thank you so much! I love it and now the cat thinks he owns it! Thank you for stopping by!!
Great makeover!

Thank you so much, KC!! I really appreciate it!
Love this fabric choice! And the paint really sets it off. The upholstery looks nice and tight too. Thank you for sharing this awesome redo at All Things Pretty!
Thank you very much, Kathy! I really enjoyed re-doing the chair and it was a fight between the kid and the cat as to who was going to keep it! Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you so much, Robin! I will certainly be back! Thank you for stopping by!!
