Yard sale chair makeover

Guess what?! I made it!! Whoooo! Round two here I come! Thanks to everyone who voted for me. If you happen to visit One Month to Win it and are wondering what project was mine, it was the yard sale chair makeover.

I found this chair at a yard sale a bit back and knew it would be perfect for my entry. Remember I have been searching for a chair. It kind of helped it was only $4.00. That really won me over.

 I sanded her down slightly.

 Then took Krylon's Metallic gold and got to spraying

 I wanted a fabric back on this chair and emailed Sarah from Three Boys ( she is an upholstery genius! I just asked what she would use to upholster a back of a chair that was wood. She said Foam. How simple was that?!). So I cut out a piece of foam in the same shape as the back:

 Now for the back, I didn't want it to stick out as far as the front, so I used a piece of poster board I had on hand. I stapled this to the backside:

 I then cut out my shapes for the top front and bottom cushion:

 I then taped off my chevron pattern. Finally I used chevron in something! Yay!

 Then I broke out Krylon's black in flat and sprayed away!

 While letting the paint dry on both pieces, I stapled the foam piece to the back of the chair:

 I then stapled the back top piece to the front:

 Then trimmed away the excess fabric:

 And hot glued some trim to cover the staples:

 I then stapled just a plain cream piece of fabric to cover the posterboard on the back and put a little bit of batting in it to fill it out. I also hot glued the same trim on the back to cover the staples:

 I then stapled the bottom fabric to the cushion and screwed the seat in!

 Beautiful!!

 She looks like perfection in my entry!

 LOVE!

Thanks again for all that voted!

Also thank you thank you thank you for all your kind comments yesterday about my pregnancy news! Yay!!
