Nothing about either of these two before chairs would make me sit on or even near them, let alone put them in my house. Tasha’s $15 chair was sporting a sad floral fabric and selection of mystery stains, and Sonja’s crusty velvet chair looked to be nearing its disintegration point.
But, of course, the afters are simply lovely. I love how Tasha kept the natural wood and just stained it deep and dark. And I love Sonja’s because the fabric is fab, even though her husband thinks it looks like a muu-muu! Which just makes it all the more awesome to me. See Sonja’s HERE. Thanks ladies!

August 11, 2011 at 3:13 PMI guess my hubby isn’t the only one who doesn’t care for the fabric…lol.
I’ll live.
And on the other hand, I’ve had three emails asking where I purchased it!
Thanks for the ‘feature’!
LOVE looking every day for inspiration and a smile.

August 11, 2011 at 9:48 PMIs it sad that I squealed, bounced on my chair, AND clapped when I saw you posted my chair re-do?
Thank you for the post, and thank you all for the kind comments 😀 I actually have pics of the entire process, so I may just have to post them somewhere and link back.
