Maybe if I had enough money to purchase furniture that is beautiful I wouldn't have to fix it up, but really, what is the fun in that?
Here is the chair we bought at a garage sale for $7.50. It's actually one of a pair that the owner's uncle made in the 1970's. They are really sturdy and comfortable. Unfortunately they had really ugly fabric in really poor shape. I was going to reupholster it but at the rate our furniture gets dirty it would be a lost cause. So slipcovering was my only option.
Here it is after the slipcover. The fabric is by Premier Prints and the gray trim is twill. I wanted the gray trim so it didn't look too cutesy. If you look to your left you will see my slipcovered tv. :)
Now I'm in the process of slipcovering the rocking swivel chair we bought at the same garage sale. I have the pattern cut and the cushion done as you can see. It will be in a blue ticking stripe.
