Before and After

You may remember me posting about the 500 mile yard sale back in August. One of my finds was this little chair with great bones. I paid $30 for it, but it needed a little bit of work! So, here it is after getting cleaned up, stained black and reupholstered. I think it was a success...especially for the price.

Before - the fabric was stained and the seat foam and padding were rotten. Not to mention that the finish was dated and ugly.

In progress - The piping is ripped off and the wood has been stained black.

After - great new fabric and a cute little lumbar pillow.
