made by melis: chair makeover

6.17.2010

My mother-in-law has been talking about re-upholstering her dining room chairs for several months. After some research on Google, I realized re-upholstering a piece of furniture such as a chair is not that difficult. We took a quick trip to the Joann's, my Mother-in-law picked out a pattern that she liked, and voila!

I followed the directions from wikihow. It's so easy! I highly recommend trying it.

Sorry about the armless (after) and arm chair (before) photos. I finished all the armless chairs without taking a "before" photo. It's not that bad, right?

Great job! I just read about this other before & after chair, and it's so inspiring. I'd totally be on the lookout for thrown out chairs if I didn't live in NYC and worried so much about bedbugs...
