How to recover a chair

Ok friends here is my disclaimer…..I am not a professional!!!!

If you are please skip this post as I am sure I will not live up to your expectations. 🙂

So with that said, here is how I redid this chair.

First I painted the chair with flat white paint I had laying around the house.

Then I used a walnut glaze. I wiped it everywhere with a rag, and then wiped it off again, leaving a little in the creases.

Finally I used a clear sealer so the paint would not chip.

Next I removed all the fabric and nail heads leaving the batting.

I used the old fabric as a template to cut my new fabric, one section at a time.

Using a stable gun I attached each piece I cut to the chair, careful to pull each piece as tightly as I could.

I used a simple trim to cover the staples instead of the nail head.

I applied it with a hot glue gun.

The project cost me less than $25 as I got my fabric and trim 50% off at Joann’s fabric.

Here it is again!

So don’t be afraid my friends! You can do it too!!! Be brave and give it a shot. I promise it really is that easy 🙂

Good luck!
