This chair went from this...
This was my first attempt at re-upholstering anything in my life, but I was up to the challenge and I'm glad I tried it.
This chair has been in our bedroom for as long as I have know my husband. Since I was making over our master bedroom and I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a new chair, I decided that I would just change the fabric on it for a low-cost alternative. Luckily I found some cool, shimmery, silvery white fabric that only cost $2 a yard and I didn't make any mistakes with sewing or cutting the fabric (thank goodness!) so it only took about 4 yards. I also re-stained the wooden legs to match our new night stands.

| Here I am carefully removing all the pieces of fabric from the chair. I marked each piece of fabric with a number so I would know what order to put it back on. I also took pictures through out the whole process which greatly helped when putting the new fabric back on. |

...all it took was $10, some effort, determination and a little patience to finish the project.
Stay tuned for my next blog to see how I made my own head board and the complete before and after bedroom makeover pictures.
