Unfortunately I didn't get a good before picture. This chair was andrew's grandpa's it's probabaly at least 40-50 years old and actually Laz-y-Boy brand, and we were given it when we got married. It was not the prettiest chair, but when I was nursing it was the best!!! So, since I loved the chair I decided to make it work with our nursery.
This took so much work, and as far as anyone knows I have vowed never to do it again, a couch would be way easier, and the original upholstery had millions (I'm not exaggerating) of stapples in it. It took weeks to get them all out. But I loved what I ended up with. We even lost a hinge for the back, for reclining, and we found and awesome furniture store that had about 10 of them and they replaced them for free. I bought the fabric on sale in Utah, and got the white stain at Ikea, we also had to sand off hundreds of layers of varnish, so don't every ask me to help you with one of these. Still all in all it was well worth it. We even found a few more of Grandpa Greens stray Peanuts in it!! haha
Great job!

ReplyDeleteI was creeping on all the awesome projects at Infarrantly Creative and saw your name. No, can't be...I said. And it WAS! It was you!!!
Way to go on this chair, by the way, it's seriously amazing! I'm WAY impressed.
I have a similar chair and couldn't even imagine where I would begin to redo it! You did a *fantastic* job... really, it looks GREAT!!
ReplyDeleteAh, the sweet stapling memories, coming back and haunting me at this very moment. Did you know I've never seen the completed piece until now? It looks fabulous!
