Emergency Chair Rehab! {Garage Find Makeover}

Remember that chair I found in my mom's garage?? (Catch up here!) Well it finally got the makeover it deserved!

A little more history about the chair.. my cousin got it from a garage sale {yaay the chair was rescued!} and used it while she was living here in 2006. She moved away and it had been sitting in my mom's garage ever since ....alone, cold, & neglected {poor chair!}. Six years later, I noticed the chair. The chair went from it's old home in my mom's garage to it's new home in my garage for about 3 weeks {from one bad situation to the next...poor chair!}. I decided to stop neglecting the chair and used this weekend to devote time and give it the the TLC that it needed.

And now the chair's journey to becoming beautiful again...

There she goes cold, alone & neglected

Cushions removed & Rhyan is helping to clean her up

ahhh a couple of fresh coats of paint and now drying in a nice breeze!

oooh! new clothes!

She's fancy now!

and now completed!

The total cost for me was $20.00 for fabric and new painting supplies (brush, roller, paint pan). The paint used was Behr - Light Copper, which was left over from painting the dining room.
