Trash-To-Treasure Transformation

This  Old Chair Gets A Makeover You Won’t Believe!

Office Chair Before

A friend asked me to take this old drab chair and give it some new life with a wood grain faux finish that matched the desk in her office. I could see the hidden beauty behind the white paint and outdated fabric so of course, I said YES! . The challenge is on.

Before #1

Work in progress

The first thing I had to do it remove all the fabric, this was the most difficult part of the job. I must have removed 2000 staples. UGH!

Before #2

Wood Graining Process

 The fun part was creating the wood grain. You could also paint it in any color you want.

Wood Grain Completed

When I was done with the graining I added Gilt Cream to the details on the legs and arms to give it a little pop.

After #2

Final Results

Stunning Transformation! The upholstery work was done by ” Iris Upholstery” in Stuart Florida. What an amazing job they did.

 I have a question: Are zebras white with black stripes or black with white stripes? Humm???
