Scared by chairs? Don’t be. They can be some of the simplest and most rewarding makeovers of all.
See this chair from Jen at Girl in the Garage? Two steps, people: #1 Paint. #2 Recover seat. DONE.
(Minus all the mini in-between steps like “clean chair,” “unscrew seat,” “evacuate spiders” and all that.
And this one …OK, maybe not so simple with its tufted cushion with piping and wacky armrests, but Beck figured it all out, right down to the fabric she chose. Living in Razorback country, she knew red and white would sell fast! See more on her blog Beckwith’s Treasures.

I’m a stickler for the details being done correctly. I love that everyone is into the DIY and the repurpose, but truly appreciate the time it took her to do it correctly! Fantastic job!!!

Jennifer…thanks for the compliment….you are so kind! Sewing is something I do a lot, but like the VERY least. Probably because I am a tad OCD and these tiny details drive me nuts! But they can make a huge difference!
