From Garbage to Bedroom

By LenkArt

Years ago I found this chair in the garbage. I liked it then, and I love it now. Fabric was old and dated , so I decided to reupholster it myself. Fabric choice wasn't difficult, I already had draperies from same fabric.

It took me a while  to take all staples out. I used old fabric parts as my template to cut new pieces of fabric.

 

It was my first experience with upholstery, I think I achived what I wanted. I just want to repeat  one more time - try new things to do, otherwise you will never know what you are capable of.

Hi Margarita,

 

Thanks for comment.

No it is still covered with leopard printed fabric, but as soon I'll deside to change decor in my bedroom, I will change the fabric on the chair too.

So cute! I would have never seen the potential. Have you changed it again? Also, the dresser behind the chair looks nice.
