What I did this weekend...

Saturday I got this chair, for free since our neighbors didn't want it anymore, and immediately I saw that it had potential! In one afternoon I sanded down the old varnish & painted this black semi-gloss over the entire chair. I recovered the seat {it still had a nice cushion} with a cotton upholstery fabric & Viola! A new chair for our office area!

    i got it at home fabrics.
    it was in the outdoor fabric section a couple weeks ago.
    there not much there to choose from so this one stood out. i love the before and after on your chair.
