I have this super nasty chair that a house a few blocks away left on the curb this past spring. And by nasty I mean really nasty. I guess I grabbed it because the shape was decent, and I thought it would be easy to fix...and that's what I'm still hoping! Well here, I'll show you what I have to work with:
So now you see it & no doubt agree with me on its grotesqueness.
BUT I have a plan.
Firstly, I must clean and spray paint all of that awful metal. It is not at all pleasant to look at.
Secondly I need to remove the cushions and reupholster that ugly green stuff with whatever pretty fabric I have. I don't own a lot of fabric, so hopefully there's something!
Ok I found a nice black & white swirly/dotty patterned fabric that should look good. A little while & a lot of fun with my staple gun later, I have THIS::::
The wooden armrests still look really worn, but I forgot to buy a wood stain...so it will retain a bit of its original look for now! But the worn wood doesn't bug me much. This is a HUGE improvement. I will actually bring this into my house now.
