Chair makeover

Jeff bought this chair from me about 6 years ago at a yard sale for a whole $15. (I thought he was robbed!) He brought it home so proud telling me that we could use it to rock our future babies to sleep(CUTE.) Well years passed and I tried several times to get rid of it because it just reminded me of the babies that we didn't have. Well as we all know this story has a good ending and his name is Corbin. Since the chair is now in use I decided that it needed a little updating!

I remembered to take the pic after I started taping.

I wish I had remembered to take a picture of it taped off and newly painted because when Jeff got home and saw it in this state he said, " that is NOT an improvement." I think I proved him wrong though.. what do you think?

I even added extra padding to the seats. I chose a gender neutral color so that I could use it in several different settings.

I used the All Things Thrifty technique of painting and because I couldn't remove the cushions I had to stuff the fabric into the edges and place furniture tacks all around. All of the paint and supplies probably cost around $20.
