I got the chair from Goodwill for about $10. The heavy-duty fabric was much pricier, but I got it for 60% off at Calico Corners, and I'll (hopefully) use the rest of the bolt end to make a lumbar pillow or a throw pillow. It only took a screwdriver, a staple gun, and about an hour of my time.
I can't believe I forgot to take a before picture, but it was a dusty-rose brocade, which is why no one else had snatched it up, I think. I didn't even rip the old brocade off...I just put the foam and new fabric right on top.
I don't know about you, but I'm all about makeover projects that take less than a naptime to complete :)

really nice, Terri! I bet you're loving the freedom to decorate your own home. I'd love to come check it out :) (like, this week please!).
That's really beautiful! I like the fabric a lot.
Using almost the exact same skills, you can also make yourself a nice fabric headboard. I did this a few years back, and we still love it.

I wish not approve on it. I regard as warm-hearted post. Specially the appellation attracted me to be familiar with the whole story.
Love the fabric. Nice work!
