I snagged this chair at Goodwill last week for $8. Nick took one look at it and thought I was crazy and the chair was well sorta gross. He said the sight of it made him itch. This just fueled my fire to give it a second life. The seat was busted so I traced around the old one and cut it with a jig saw. I basically took everything apart just to see how it was put together and just replicated it with new cushions and fabric (damask on clearance at Hobby Lobby). I got to test out my new handy paint sprayer too. After a little distressing and a clear coat we were good to go. It's on great casters so I plan to use it as my new office chair but until we move it will live in our foyer. Next up the china cabinet!
looks awesome! i love it!
