The Desk Chair Makeover: Painting and Re-Upholstering the Old Desk Chair

A while back I gave a beat up dining room chair, that had been put out for trash by my neighbors, a makeover. There were 2 chairs. One was broken at the top and the other wasn’t and also had arms. Oh yeah, and the one with arms was spray painted gold instead of aqua.

Of course, I didn’t take a picture of the chair with arms before I painted it, but you get the idea.

Here’s what the chair looked like when I saved it from the trash.

  

and this is what it looked like after the first makeover

Titus wanted to model the chair :p

Now about a year later, I’m finally getting around to reupholstering the seat cushion.

I picked up some fabric from Hobby Lobby and used a staple gun to attach the fabric over the original fabric.

I also decided to repaint the chair white. I just felt like it would flow better with the new upholster seat cushion.

Once the paint dried I reattached the seat cushion and it was finished! I love it! It’s going to make the perfect desk chair.

 

  

  

You’ll have to excuse the really poor camera quality… my good camera is broken, so I had to use my phone to take these, but I will upload better pictures as soon as I get my camera up and running again!
