Made it Monday: Chair Refresh

So this post should probably be called "Monday Makeover" instead of "Monday Made It."  But just go with me...



A few years ago, my sister gave me her old pink desk chair that she didn't need anymore.  It sat in my house for a while, and then I decided to take it to school and use it there.

My classroom colors are purple, blue and green...and a pink chair just doesn't work!!

I used it at my computer, and since I only had one computer in the room, the chair was used by both my students and me!  It was well used...and definitely looked that way before I gave it a makeover!  I already had the fabric at home, so it was essentially a free project to complete!

All I needed was the following:
- chair
- fabric
- allen wrench (to take the chair apart)
- staple gun

It's a pretty simple, straight forward and easy project to complete!

**I totally meant to take a picture of the chair before I took it apart, but here's a picture of the seat cushion.  You get the idea!**


I did get help from a friend, as I'd never done this before...but the project was very easy!  And after seeing the "After" photo, I feel like I need another chair to makeover!!

  2. OMG I love your chair. I am planning on doing this to mine but am unsure of how to do it. You make it seem so easy! My chair is currently black but I am not sure if I want to get black chevron to go with my theme.

  4. The fabric choice is amazing! Now I want a chair like yours! Miss Nelson is right that commented above...she DOES need that chair in her life. It would match her classroom...PERFECTLY!
