Upcycled Chair

I bought this great plywood chair at the local op shop for $10 -  I and am rejuvenating it as part of project I am working on with a client.  The chair will be used as the desk chair in a 10year old boys room.

After a sand, a couple of coats of paint and some personalisation - I have stenciled his initial on the front and back.  A very funky chair for $15.00









Today reading the Sunday paper there was a feature on butterfly chairs from Temptation Design  - these chairs retail for $545 each!!! ouch

Although the shape is a little different, they do look similar and I think my $15 upcycled chairs is a knock out!

Upholstery - the finished product

I know its taken me a little while to update my progress reupholstering my two chairs - time just got away.  The last few weeks have gone so fast and I have been so focused on getting both chairs finished at the same time, that I didn't have time to update my blog.  But I am here now...would you like to see the finished product.

This where i last left off....the front and seat had been completed....

If you look close you can see the buttons

 The contrasting back fabric and handmade piping trim

The finished product - isn't this so sweet....!  

My next project will be an ottoman so stay tuned

Cheers
