From Goodwill to Oh My Goodness! {Chair Project}

I'm horrible at updating blogs. Even my business blog, Marisa Taylor Photography needs to be updated.  But I will tell you this, I am wonderful at updating Facebook.  Because, let's face it. It's Facebook!  So I hope that eventually I get this blog going into an awesome diy resource, and journal of projects that I am doing.  Talking about projects, I have to show you what I did last night!




Above are two chairs that I got from Goodwill. I got both of them for $5!!!  Dark brown, wood look plastic, with navy blue, I'm guessing corduroy for the cushions.  We desperately need chairs in our house, so this looked perfect. And as soon as I saw them, I knew that I needed to grab them.

So I grabbed them, along with two cans of Purple Krylon spray paint, and went to work!  First I disassembled the chair, spray painted the back and legs. Then I took some fabric that I already had here, which was given to me for free, cut the shape of the cushion out, and added a few inches to overlap, and used my nail gun to put in place.  Wa la! New (to me) chairs, for less than $10!!!
