rechair



About a year ago, I bought this chair for $2 from a yard sale that my parents' Sunday School class puts on bi-annually. The gold fabric was a bit worn down, but the bones were good. I love the caning on the sides and the...whadacallems - pole things/legs? So, step 1. Sand and prime
Step 2. Paint white - this took a couple coats and I had to use a sponge on the caning.
Step 3.  Recover fabric on the chair and then sew the pillows on the back and seat.  I just used the old pillows as a template for the new.
Tada! 

Project Costs:
Chair - $2
Storing it in my parents' garage for a year: priceless
Fabric 2.5 yards@ $20 a yard and 1/2 off = $25
Paint: Already had - freeish

Total: $27 dolla dolla billz yall.
