Desk Chair Face Lift

I FINALLY finished my desk chair makeover from my Chair Pinspiration. I've had the chair finished for about a week but I needed to put the seat on and the drill happened to disappear the day I needed it so I had to wait to get it back. So yesterday afternoon I finally talked Jarr into helping me put the seat back on and now it is finished! I am so happy with the finished product of  my chair. It is fun and unique and I love it.

This is the chair I started out with, I bought it at the local thrift store. It has great bones and was in really good shape.

That's right this baby was only $3.00 and I snatched her right up. I've been looking for a desk chair for about a year and I was so happy when I found her. She fits perfect with my desk and she was only $3! So after some debate on what color to paint her I just jumped in and started painting.

First I painted her a light gray/blue color which you can't really see right here and I hated it. It's just very blah and I couldn't find any fabric that matched her well so I decided I might as well take a chance and paint her a bright color like I wanted to in the beginning.

So I spray painted her yellow :) this is Krylon Bright Idea. This is my favorite yellow because its not so harsh. It took about 2 cans for me to get her completely covered and I am very happy with the way she looks now.

Here she is complete, I love the bright yellow with this fun print. I found this fabric at hobby lobby on sale and it is the exact color I am using in my bedroom so I snatched it up. I went to recover this chair and started taking off the top fabric. Little did I know this beauty had already been made over a few times. She had 4 different layers of fabric on the seat so I decided to leave it and add some more cushion, I used my leftover quilt batting from my Mini Stool Makeover then stapled it all down. I put the fabric on and stapled that on securely and then it was time to put the cover back on the seat.

Here she is from the back, I'm guessing there used to be something in the middle of the back but I like her the way she is. I think that with the bright color and fun pattern she has lots of personality and doesn't need anything else.

Here is a better look at the fabric and the details she has on the chair back. I think she turned out great and as of right now I won't be distressing her but that might change.

What do you think about the bright color and fun fabric?
