Should you ever happen upon an ugly looking, but free office chair, have hope. With a just a screwdriver, a staple gun, and some fabric on hand, it's the perfect candidate for a makeover.
In the midst of spring cleaning the spare bedroom I decided I could no longer live with the shabby-though-free office chair that Mike would sometimes use at the desk there. It was one of those 'there's no better time than the present!' moments. I rummaged through the fabric cupboard and came up with an Orla Kiely tablecloth that I found at Target a few years ago, grabbed a screwdriver and my staple gun, and set to work. About an hour later it was done, and I got back to my spring cleaning.
It looks great! What a transformation! I have an ugly office chair that I've been thinking of getting rid of and buying a new one. However, after seeing yours, I think I'll recover mine. It needs some additional padding but I bet I can fix that too! Thanks for the inspiration! Enjoy your "new" chair! :-D
ReplyDeleteThat looks great, and there are plenty of scruffy office chairs out there asking for a makeover.
ReplyDeleteWell you done gone and done it now! I must go look at my fabric stash to see what goes with the couch and wall paint in the office!!! Love the fabric you used, now that would be perfect. LOL
ReplyDeleteAwesome job! That looks like a brand new chair!
ReplyDeleteWell done! So impressive and such a shot in the arm to those of us considering, but not brave enough to go for it. Maybe now....
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on that chair....gives me the inspiration to try it on my old (and favorite) chair.
ReplyDeleteWow! I think I need a staple gun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a transformation!!! Love how the tablecloth suits the modern style of the chair. Awesome job.
ReplyDeleteGod bless
Deb...love the material...and the fact that you've done it in an hour...an inspiration....now i just need to figure out what to do with our one-arm-office chair...
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful! I'm in the midst of a major declutter too! Although it's autumn here not spring.
ReplyDeleteI Love your ability to tackle upholstery. The chair is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is one great makeover! Love the material.
