A few weeks ago while on a walk with Sterling, I found this baby discarded on the side of the road.
It was pretty ugly and the wood was spilt and broken on one side, but I am a sucker for a chair makeover! I promptly got my car and picked her up for a make-over!
The first step was I had to glue the wood that had spilt. That was pretty easy with some wood glue and a clamp (no pictures because my dad may have done this step for me).
Next a few coats of white gloss spray paint and she was looking good as new. My little helper snuck into this picture:)
Here is the finished chair! A real beauty I must say!

I then headed to GDC Home, my favorite place to find fabric. I knew I wanted a navy geometric pattern to go with my navy monogrammed duvet in our guest bedroom.
Here is the finished chair! A real beauty I must say!
This makeover cost less than $20. It was super easy. Just don't go calling me a trash collector because I picked her up on the side of the road! The chair is now proudly sitting in our guest bedroom!

Looks so cute! Love the babe in his pj's too...I just found a chair at a resale shop and am currently repairing it, spraying it high gloss black and looking for fabric - thinking geometric or menswear inspired.
