Granny Chair Makeover

by on Jul 12, 2010

You’ve seen these sofas and chairs at the thrift stores. Upholstered in a shiny damask granny fabric, they make me want to barf. However, don’t be fooled. Chairs like this one can be really well built.  It just needs a makeover–BAD!

Well, look what we have here–ivory painted wood, light blue linen (which I have in my stash), and now we’re talking. For under $30.00, Kelly from Much To Do With Nothing ended up turning this dog into a soft, beautifully simple chair for her bedroom. She was going to sell it, but couldn’t bring herself to do it when all was said and done. Well done!!
