Good Will Chair Re-Do

A few months ago I came across 4 of these chairs at my local Good Will.

I had never reupholstered anything other than a basic chair seat, but I was up for the challenge.

Especially since I have been wanting chairs like this for our livingroom for months:

southern living

Better Homes and Gardens

too bad I don't have $200+ to spend on each chair... but this is no excuse not to have the same look for less :)
To me, the Good Will chairs looked to be from a waiting room or conference room but I knew they could be used for more.

I took the seat off the frame and was sad to see it was one piece not two.
So I started folding, cutting and stapling the fabric I purchased from Hobby Lobby until the dingy old brown fabric was out of sight.

For the frame of the chair I simply used Howard's restore -a- finish in walnut.

Here is how it turned out:

I have since refnished a second one to match and put them in our livingroom.You can read about that here.

Thanks for stopping by!
