$2 Restore Chair

Sharing is caring!

I’ve got a great little chair makeover to share with you guys.  I picked up a sad, worn chair at the Habitat for Humanity Restore.  My youngest had outgrown her two little chairs, so when I came across a chair at the Restore for only $2  I scooped it up.

If you’ve been around my blog for a while you know I adore paint.  Add some fun fabric to the mix and you’ve got magic.

Of course, you want to see the before…

So sad! Like I said… nothing some paint and fabric can’t fix!

Restore Chair Makeover Supplies

Here’s what I used: (affiliate links included for your convenience)

  • Valspar’s Brilliant Silver spray paint
  • Krylon’s Blue Ocean Breeze spray paint

 

The base of the chair was spray-painted with Valspar’s Brilliant Silver. It’s a great shiny silver metal spray paint color!

Chair Makeover with Paint and Fabric

The cane backing was spray painted with Krylon’s Blue Ocean Breeze.  Such a beautiful light teal blue.

and I found this adorably cute fabric at Walmart… score!  It’s a brushed cotton, so super soft and cozy.  Her sister is going to make her a couple of throw pillows with the leftover fabric.

It’s vibrant and colorful…. just like her personality.

    Was curious how you did this. Did you unscrew everything so it was all unattached, then went about painting and reupholstering?

    Holy moly…I see these chairs all the time @ Salvation Army. I never gave it a thought to paint the top. GREAT idea. Your choices of color and fabric are right on too! I struggle w/ that. Great job Maryann!
