Yes, dearies the living room makeover continues! I have had my little pea-pickin heart set on adding a chair to the side of our TV dresser to help dress it up a bit.
I wouldn't exactly say it was love at first sight when I stumbled upon this grungy little chair at a local thrift store.
But there is always hope, right?
I was kinda of diggen the bamboo inspired frame & I knew some new fabric would help breathe some life back into this old cranky lady. Plus, it was only $9.
I mean nowadays you can barely buy lunch for that amount.
So after I hit up the fabric store it was time to whip out the screw driver, upholstery staple gun, & spray paint. Oh, Catalina Mist how I heart you.
An hour later I had a whole new chair!
To help scale back on the blue in this room{I may be going a bit overboard with the blue BUT it's my favorite color!} I thought it would be puuurrty to add this inexpensive ruffle, brown pillow I found for $7 buckaroos. Of course the hubby asked why
"the pillow looked like a bad, ruffle tuxedo shirt from the 70's?"
I, on the other hand, wonder why we don't own a dog house for him to sleep in tonight?
And to save yourself the annoying task of scrolling, here it is once again.
Cranky old lady before & after the new dentures.
So what fun things have you scored at the thrift store lately?

So amazing what spray paint can do! I happen to love the pillow...tuxedo reminders or not!
Wow what an improvement! Good job. Love the color and how it looks on the bamboo backing of the chair!
What a beautiful chair! I almost bought that identical fabric yesterday for a chair that I'm recovering. It looks fantastic with your chair! Megan
Haha, I love that pillow! Of course, I think those suits from the 70's were highly underrated too, so I don't know what that says about me ;-)
Soooo impressive!! I would never have even known that was the same chair as the before. Spray paint rocks
What a transformation - I love that color! We're moving in 2 weeks so all of my basement projects -including a chair to redo - just went to the curb. Bummer.
can we go thrifting together and then can you help me makeover whatever i buy? : )
I love that color so much too! I keep picking up random frames or vases around my house and painting them with it. Lol that chair looks so good! Great improvement! :)
love the refurbishing of the chair!! love the color selection, now you are making me want to redo a chair
Wow! I love the colors!! Beautiful pillow!
The chair looks fantastic Jen! Going overboard with blue is better than gray right? Ahem.
Beautiful job! Love the colors! What an amazing difference.
