Like mother like daughter

Following the footsteps of my daughter (actually I did this first, but didn't complete it until recently) I pulled this chair out of someone's trash and refurbished it. Husband cut a new seat and I touched up the paint with a hit of black spray paint.
Added a healthy dose of batting for padding.


Pulled a scrap of fabric I have had for a while. Switched to a more powerful staple gun (per husband's advice) and went wild with the staples.


This is a simple, simple project and very low cost. You just have to be sure to secure the fabric tightly and you've got it made.



Here's the seat completed. Then commission (although I could have done this) husband to find a long screw to attach the seat to the chair frame.




A new chair for next to nothing!

So was it you or Becca that came and stole my recliner and couch after I put it on the curb? I look forward to a future post to see what you've done with it. ;)

Nice chair!
