Chair Makeover

Well, I have wanted a chaise for my bedroom, so that I can cozy up with a good book and relax, however, you know that i'm always looking for a good deal, and I found one! The cheapest I saw one in the store was at least $600, but I wasn't willing to pay that for something that would become more of a feature piece than an everyday use chair. So I found one on Kijiji (a buy and sell site) for free, but it was trashed. So I dragged Mark into Marda Loop Calgary (kind of a ghetto part of town) where he complained about how I was wasting my time and that he would have to take it to the dump in a few weeks, (fair enough, I did drag him to the ghetto area and then make him pick up a trashed chaise) but he was still kind enough to help me load it into the van and take it home. That was last saturday. This is what it looked like.


Trashed right, It was scratched on the arms, no pillows, and the material was disgusting. So I did a few online tutorials for reupholstering, there are some great ones out there, and went to work. This is how it turned out! I'm pretty impressed that it turned out so well, considering I really had no idea what I was doing, I finished it today! And It is my new favorite piece of furniture in the house. Here is what is looks like now!


Ps, I'll be posting christmas pics soon!
