DIY Upholstery: Cinderella Chairs

I don't know why I call them "Cinderella Chairs". Maybe because I worked on them all night. And they are super girly.

Here is what they looked like before: 

Just ignore the horrifying mess in my kitchen. It's still under construction. 

First, disassemble, sand, and prime. 

While your primer is drying, start working on your cushions!

Give your chairs some love, and paint the crap out of them. I painted three coats on my chairs. Sand between coats if you like. 

Enjoy!

A chair, a chair! 

Hold on. Look to the right. There is a little, tiny poll. Not pole. Go ahead and vote! 

Now.

Here I have a wicker back chair from part of the Sunday Sneak Peek this week...and it turns out I only have one before picture from my phone. So here it goes: 

Now:

The best part is that I got the green vinyl for 50% off as a remnant! Yay! The worst part is that I have somehow misplaced the screws for the seat...which means I have to make a trip to get some. Ugh. 

Also, check out this awesome preview which was not on the sneak peek this week:

I'm so excited about it I can't hold still!

Another Chair Makeover

Remember this chair? Well I made a friend for it.

I got the chair on the left for five dollars from a place in Kansas City called Bella Patina--the poor thing had no seat! So of course My Honeypie fixed it up and I covered it and ta-da! Two "matching" chairs. You know how awesome I am at taking before pictures, so of course, I didn't get one of the chair. But you can't be five bucks!

I Got an Old Chair: Makeover!

Yesterday, My Honeypie came home and handed me some dollars and I was like, "what's this for?" and he told me, "[insert inappropriate joke]."

Joke!

He just told me it was for me. Awwww. Spoiled!

You want to know what I did with that money? I went to the antique store in Hamilton, duh.

Oh, yes I did. and I bought a wooden chair for ten bucks. It looked like this:

Now it looks like this!

OMGOSH!! Is it wrong to totally love what you, yourself, just accomplished? Cuz I totally do. I looove it!

I love it so much that I risked getting ticks to give my chair a photo opportunity:

I decided this is for my craft room. Until then it shall remain...everywhere.
