Before And After Chair

Hello friends,
I've been making some changes In my bedroom, and doing a little mini makeover. I moved the chair I did a few weeks ago to the foyer. I replaced It with this garage sale find chair that I bought for $10.00. The color Is going to go better with the changes I'm making. I also found the fabric at a moving sale. She had a stack of fabric that she was selling for $5.00. So, of course I bought It! That was a real bargain, and I could do a lot with It.




Not so nice, but I knew It had possibilities. Something Is going on In the foyer too! 




I love the stripe fabric, and the color works well with the changes I'm making. 



I made bows for each side to give It a little flair. I made them long enough to reach the floor. 

 
 
I sanded around the edges. Not a bad deal for a $10.00 chair, and some bargain fabric!!

Have a great day!
