Chair with a Facelift


So, I have been looking for a chair for Sophie's room for quite a while. I found one at Down East Home the other day, but it was $99. That was way more that I wanted to pay, so I kept looking. I found this at DI, and it was $3.... yes, $3! So, I brought it home, and gave it a coat of paint, and reupholstered it, and voila... look how well it works!!!



I didn't want anything too big, or with arms. This was just what I was looking for. I love how the fabric on the seat matches the little plant holder on her desk.

    Super cute. I never find furniture at the DI for only 3$! I think they overprice things there! Great job on the chair...looks perfect at her desk!

    So many people ask me what DI is... it is a thrift store here in Utah. You can find out more info here: http://www.providentliving.org/channel/0,11677,2022-1,00.html
