Polka-Dot Sit Down

Here's another before and after find from the local auction....$3.75 for the chair...$40 for the fabric.  AMAZING find as the wood finishing was in amazing condition.  The upholstery however had a few mystery stains (no thank-you) and a rip in the back - some pilling and wear...not so pretty.




After...



But I am LOVING the polka dots and simple lines of the chair.  I have another coordinating fabric and chair that is also on the to-do list that I think will look great with this one.  Mmmmm.  :) Yes - I MAY be developing an addiction to trashy chairs....but when do you NOT need something to sit on??

Wow! What a great re-do. Hard to believe you got the chair for under $4! It looks like it's really solid and sturdy too!

It turned out so beautifully! I love the dots too. IS the other chair the same? I wish i had the reupholstering know how to do that. I got a great deal on some fabric coverd parson chairs but my slipcover idea didn't work out & I just gave them to my mom. But I had really wanted to keep them...If I had you close by to show me how to make them over there might've been hope- cuz yours looks great! Found you on trash to treasure at sassysites and I am following along now! Be blessed, Karyl =0)
