Joy's husband was terrified of this sickly pink chair she had lugged home from the thrift store one day. She promised him it wouldn't stay pink for long, and that she totally knew how to reupholster it. Except she didn't.
So Joy googled and researched and bought books and tools and waited until her husband went out of town, which, in her words: "Gave me the freedom to cuss and scream and turn the living room into a craft room while watching all seven Harry Potter movies and drinking several bottles of wine and not have to 'splain nothin' to nobody."
And everything turns out fantastic in the end! Except Dumbledore dies. Oooh, I hope that wasn't a spoiler! Check out the progress on her blog Girl v. The World.

Love this redo! The after is stunning! And totally worth the cussing and drinking!
Simply gorgeous!!
Very nice job! I love it!
Amazing makeover and that's the first chair she ever did? She needs to be in the reupholstery business- xo Diana
The redo is beautiful, but the commentary is my *favorite* part! Great work, Lindsey!
Ummmm, Uhhhhh... i liked the pink, i would have just painted the wood...
but the after is completely fabulous as anything, and the commentary about drinking wine and cursing and watching harry potter made it even better...

LOVE it. very elegant.
Gorgeous! I have that same chair except mine is in orange floral. Guess I need to go check out how she reupholstered it.
Love this chair especially the fabric it would look great in my bedroom. Did she say where she got it?
Does she have a PhD in anything? Because the way that she studied those books proves that she'd be highly capable of completing one! Man! That is professional-quality work there! My husband is away and I only planned on painting the kitchen cabinets. You win!
The After is simply gorgeous!!
IMPRESSIVE! I to plan to redo a chair, and have NO IDEA how. I'm scared, but determined to figure it out. LOVE this chair.
Gorgeous!
