For years...I've had an old chair in our garage that I have been meaning to refinish. It was given to me by a neighbor when she moved. I liked the look of it because it reminded me of Jane Austen. So I took it...and there it sat in our garage. It was always in the back of my mind that I would take the time and redo it.
Every once in a while my husband would say something like..."When are we getting rid of that chair?" To which I would reply, "We aren't, I'm going to redo it." This was usually followed by the roll of his eyes and a heavy sigh.
Well, I have finally fixed it up. I stripped it, repaired it, sanded it, painted it and reupholstered it. Oh and I have gave myself a painful blister with my glue gun. OUCH! It was more difficult than I thought but, like my husband says, 'it's done now'. ;o)
Here are the before photos:

Just one more Before/After shot:
So now the question is where am I going to put it since it doesn't match our decor. lol Oh and fyi I won't be reupholstering anything again. ;o)

My sweet mother "taught" me to anthropomorphize almost everything as a child, and it still affects me to this day!! LMAO!! So I think your rehabbed chair is feeling quite queenly and ever so much better than before and will soon make friends with all your furniture and will be a delightful addition to any of their groups!!
What a gorgeous job you did! So proud of you! It's really beautiful. It needs to be in your sitting area now - have your hubby build you one. :)
I love that Glenna! Thanks Melissa...what sitting area?!? lol
Hey, Amy , the chair looks fantastic ! Perfect combo on the material and wood color.
Great job.
If you have nowhere to put it,
I'll take it! it would look great
in my dining room corner. (just
kidding)
Glad you got it done...
P.S. Are you ready for your
B day starting at 4 a.m. Friday?
