You'll Never Guess Where I Found This Chair...





I'm right in the middle of re-doing my office. I used to own a stationery company, but when I was ready to "retire" and sell the business, I never wanted to set foot in my office again.
That was about three years ago, so I thought that I should be about ready to hang out in there again. Wait until you see the before and afters...weeeeeee! I love the new space, but it isn't quite ready to show off yet.
Sooo back to the chair. I picked one up at my favorite boutique the GeeDub! (That's the Goodwill for all of you who aren't so fancy) $10.00 right in my price range. (I have a $20.00 limit for All Purchases in a Day. One has to make limits, right?)
And drum roll please.... here is what it looks like now!!



I put it in my "sewing nook". What? You didn't know that I can sew? Well I'm going to take "lessons" from my seamstress. Now I have a cute chair to sit upon.
Here's how I did it:








I used Black Satin.

  10. I love that transformation! The black brings out the nice lines of the back and makes the chiar look high end. The graphic fabric for the seat is perfect. Very nice work!
