Re-upholstering a Chair Demo

I had taken a few photos to blog a tutorial about re-upholstering, but Jenny over at Little Green Notebook just did this last week with lots of great pictures, so go there!

Part 1: Stripping

Part 2: Painting

Part 3: Stapling

Part 4: Sewing Cording

Part 5: Sewing Cushion

(when I went to take the picture above Nate jumped on the chair and said, "take a picture of me and the chair"). How could I resist?

(this chair is for their room for Dad to read at night. It's vintage, so I added a lot more stuffing for a more comfortable seat.)

(No, the back is not attached, I need to sew more cording tonight to finish the back and attach it)

Next up: craigslist night stand.

Plans:

1.add casters to bottom for extra height.

2.Paint inside of drawers something fun as a special surprise

3.paint outside.... can't decide how or what color....
