i love a good upholstery job and this chair makeover from d*s melissa is a great example. melissa found this chair at a local estate sale for $10 and decided to make this her very first diy project. she stripped the old fabric, sanded the wood frame, and then painted it an ivory color with a wood stain to “antique” the frame. then she picked up a pink cotton fabric from fabric.com (durable and inexpensive to withstand her two little girls’ dirty hands, feet and shoes) and had the chair reupholstered by a local studio. a good upholstery job can really transform furniture and melissa’s chair is a wonderful example. thanks for sharing, melissa!
this pretty dresser makeover comes from nikol of decor scout. she purchased a 1963 home that happened to have this little wooden dresser sitting in the garage. she used contact paper to cover the top and side (i love the pattern!), painted the frame in “green grapes” paint from ace hardware and the legs and wood on the handles a glossy cream color. it’s such a colorful take on the original- thanks for sharing, nikol!
