See this cute chair?
She once looked like this!!!!!! A little grimy and dated....
(but for $8.50 at GW, who with a little imagination could pass her up!)
Just needed a little love to help her look her best!
Ha! Had you fooled.... it's actually a slipcover - not a reupholster job!!
(from a roll of upholstery found at GW {where else, right!?!} for $4.50... and some cording from Hancock's for $2.00)
Makes that $15 for the whole project!!!!
Great reading spot!

Ah...... a quiet, getaway corner - just for me!

That's great! And I can't believe it was only $8 at GW...our GW is so overpriced..that chair would have been at least $30-$40. Good for you for snagging that baby up!
Holy cow, you MADE that? Wow. I'm impressed. Love the throw and pillow too. Thanks for linking up to Trash to Treasure Tuesday!
The back of the chair is just as cute as the front!! You did a fantastic job on the slip cover!!
what a sweet chair! it is now cute as a button. you did a great job.
Very sweet! I have a little get away corner too! In fact I am there right now!
Ha Ha! Cute pullover, pardon the pun! hehehee!

Omg you made that!!! Im floored really! fabulous!
You did a fabulous job - I sew a lot and know how difficult it is to make a slipcover fit as well as yours! It looks lovely
I love it - great job ! I think I will come over , sit in your chair and read a book :o)

That is a very impressive cover job. The chair looks great and that little corner looks mighty cozy.

Well done! I love being able to slip cover a piece of furniture. There is so much freedom to buy a piece with great lines and make it work. The skirt is so cute and takes a chair that looks like it should be in a waiting room and makes it homey & gorgeous. And I love finding large quantities of cute decorator fabric at thrift store and yard sales. Again, well done!
You knew you had to adopt that chair, give it some TLC, and it would make you forever happy. I'm impressed with your skills.
Thanks for sharing!

So-$8.50 and $4.50 and a whole lot of talent! I could never make something as cute as that! Terrific!
