Deployment Project #90
My $.84 Chair
BLECH! Have you ever seen something so ugly?!?
I picked up this chair a few weeks ago at my local Goodwill. I have always wanted to reupholster a chair, but was never able to find that perfect chair.
Then I came across that UGLY leather chair. But it was only $1, so I bought it with a vision in my head of what I could make it look like.
The best part?? When taking off the original cover, I found $.16 stuck in the cushions...which means I only paid $.84 for this baby!
I wish I had a tutorial on this for you, but I don't. Since this was my first try at reupholstering, I didn't document it all. BUT, if you want to know how I did it, email me.
My ugly ducking chair is now a swan!!! Let's take another look!!!!

Great job! The chair looks gorgeous. I love the fabric you chose and the piping work is great! :)
Wow!!! I can't believe you got a chair for $1 at Good Will! You don't shop at my Good Will that's for sure...this would have been $10 I bet! Seriously!
But...I LOVE the re-do! I think it turned out amazing!!
I host a weekly Friday link party i would love for you to come and link up at if you are interested!

gorgeous makeover! It may have been ugly, but I still can't believe it was only $1...that is a steal! I love the fabric you chose & you have inspired me to attempt to recover a chair in my house that I have been too intimidated to try!

Wow, Paige! It looks amazing. Such a wonderful transformation. So glad I've found your blog through Courtney (:
Ah-mazing! oh my goodness!!!
I'm so impressed. Upholstering is no easy feat, I tried once and let's just say that I ran out of curse words to scream.
You're a brilliant visionary :) This is truly a before and after if I've ever seen one. Nice job for you first time I love the fabric too!
