Changing a Seat Covering

Procedure the same - removing seat BEFORE recovering and AFTER new fabric is applied...

Getting corners right is the trickiest.

Finished product.  This fabric is the same I used to cover the back of another chair that also sits in this room.

Shabby Chic Chair (Happy Birthday, Rebecca!)

Front and back view of the finished chair.  Thrifted for $3.

One of the back legs needed repair.  A triangular 3"-4" piece had broken off the leg.  I formed and attached a patch, primed and painted it to match the paint.  I rearranged the padding under the existing upholstery and then covered the backside (which was not finished) with some drapery fabric we had on hand.

My wife calls it "shabby chic".

I call it her birthday present!
