When the hubs and I were first married we acquired this beautiful antique chair from his childhood neighbors. I loved the detailed wood carving on the back, but since the fabric was such a "lovely" shade of pink we have always covered it with a quilt! Well I decided when we put it in Allie's room that it was time to reupholster it! Hubs about fainted when he saw what I had done. He thought I had devalued the chair, but I quickly reassured him that the pink fabric was indeed not the antiquated part of the chair (although it did seem that way from its condition!).
Here it is BEFORE
AFTER
I used a natural cream color fabric with a cream ruffle. I did the seats, and hubs did the ruffle because I got to huge to move! My new decor rule is that if it doesn't work in at least two rooms don't buy, make or change it! I think I read that in Better Homes and Gardens? I can use this chair in just about any room in our home if I just change the pillows. Best part it only cost approximately $25 for the chair redo!! That includes the fabric from Walmart, and ruffle and tacks from JoAnns.
