Second Calling of a Chair

I was at Goodwill one day and came across this sad looking, orange colored, fur covered chair.

I stopped and stared at it and talked myself into walking away from such mess.  I was back at Goodwill couple days later and there she was, waiting for me. It was destiny really.  I accepted the second calling(so to speak) and brought her home.

 

It really was a mess.

Really, not kidding.

And here it is now:

 

 

Wasn't the easiest project I've done , but it felt good to finish it.

 

 

First off , if you find yourself doing a project like this, first thing you have to do is get your tetanus shot pronto LOL. Tons of nails and staples and tacks to remove. Somehow I always end up with a scratch or two, or more .

 

Second, take lots of pictures, LOTS AND LOTS.

I used this pictures to get the project back together , it's easy to strip everything in a hurry and guess how it went together. I don't have professional upholstery training(one day for sure) so I found those pictures very helpful when I was ready to put the chair back together.

 

I took and tossed everything from this chair because it was very dirty and yucky. After that I put everything back together. One step at a time.

This is when the panic hit, when I was left just with this:

 

 

 

   First I painted the frame white and attached the fabric on the back like this:

 

 

 

 

After that I had to cover all the buttons with the new fabric, one by one by hand. Sloooooow work :

 

 

Reupholstered the back part and the front.

 

And put the whole chair together.

 

Now , onto all the chair I have brought home to save. One at a time.

 

 

Until next time my friends,

Enjoy your junktiques,
