You guys, I’m tired. I’ve been running around like a maniac all week, and I can’t foresee a chance to sit down and catch my breath until sometime late next week. If you have emailed me recently… I’m sorry! I’m working on replying to you as best as I can!
So, in the interest of time, I am happy to show this chair makeover by Better After reader Nick, who saved me an entire extra step by sending in this side-by-side before and after pic! It will even save your finger time from scrolling up and down. How efficient!
Nick reports: “My wife found these pepto–bismalesque chairs at a re-sale shop and immediately fell in love with them. After removing thousands of staples (there at 10 of these suckers!) and suffering through the entire project for weeks – we’ve finally finished them! Total cost for 10 chairs: $450. $300 for the chairs from the store, $50 for fabric from Ikea, $40 in paint and $60 for nailhead trim.”
Ten chairs?! Dang! I’m impressed.
