TRASH TO TREASURE

I’m so excited to share this post with you!  I was driving to my daughter’s home one afternoon when I saw this chair in front of her neighbor’s house. The chair was not the prettiest chair, but it looked sturdy.  I just had to stop and pick it up.

​Here is the chair as it was when I picked it up.

I painted the chair Dove White from Benjamin Moore,  Advance paint.   I am really happy with this paint.  It goes on with a lot of brush strokes and it scares you on how it looks while you are painting it on. After it dries, it smooths out nicely.  The best part? I simply did two coats–no polyurethane needed!  I did prime the chair first.

After I painted the chair, I cut the material for upholstery.

Finally after the painting was done and the material was all sewn,  I placed my upholstery foam, covered and stapled the seat in a layer of batting, then finished with my fabric. Sorry, I lost the pictures of this part! I’m really kicking myself! I painted the chair rollers a bronze color.  So glad that I did.

​Here is the finish chair.  I placed it in a corner of my family room with an arm knitted throw I made.

I’m loving the chair in the room. What do you think? Leave me a comment.

Thank you for stopping by.
Stay strong and stay blessed!
