New Finished Project!

I was working on t his chair for my sister, I didn't get a before picture sadly, but I got some great after photos. We picked this chair up about a month back from a curb alert of Craigslist. I love curb alerts you never know what you are going to find! Anyway it was a chair, it looked to have been sanded, the chair had a seat sitting on it but it wasn't screwed down in any way it was just loose. The seat was covered with this ugly bright blue fabric with tiny little pink flowers embroidered on it, just ugly. Anyway with this chair there was also a chair with broken arms, I haven't started this one yet, but probably will this weekend. :)



The Chair: Free
The Paint: $1 (Dollar store in Kannapolis)
The Fabric: $4 (Garden Ridge's fabric isle)

Total cost of Reagan's new dressing chair: $5











A closeup of the fabric, it's a very cool baroque kind of look, velvety gray, I couldn't iron this fabric so for a bit until it lays flat there will be a crease. But I think it turned out well.
