Last week I showed you my “new” desks for our office swap and left you with a teaser about the chair…so I’m ready to share and I’m not sure how some of you will feel about it. 😉
Here’s what the before looked like…
We have two desks in this space so I wanted similar chairs. I found two of these at Goodwill for $5.99 each and I couldn’t pass them up.
I took the seat and back off of each one and spray painted the base a gold.
They had a plastic band around them, so I just popped that off.
I found out that if you give yourself more fabric than you need it makes the corners a little easier. I pulled them tight and stapled them, then I cut off the excess.
See what I mean….
They don’t have a pleat, like most of my “recovered seat” projects. 🙂
I stapled the underside covering back on, just to tidy it up and then screwed everything back together.
So here’s the part that I know some of you will have a problem with and I might agree…I decided to do two fabrics on each chair.
I fell in love with the floral (HGTV Home at Joann Fabrics) but I wanted to add a second fabric that was a little less girly. (Since Scott is sharing this space with me.) The geometric fabric is Nate Berkus from Joann Fabric.
So for now I will keep the chairs like this. If I decide next week that I want them to have the same fabric, I can always switch them back.
This space is almost done and we are continuing the work in our master bathroom shower. To see some of the progress, check out my Instagram account.
love them…i want some!!!!! great job
Thanks for sharing this!! I love how you re-did these chairs. I have two office chairs at home right now that I was considering getting rid of because they were so ugly…now I have new inspiration!
Thanks, Sue! Good luck with your chairs. 🙂
Very nice, I also wanted to convert but was confused how to do it. But you clearly taught me.
Reading through this article, I was reminded how many people face hair challenges that affect confidence and daily life. While shampoos and treatments can help, sometimes professional solutions make the most visible difference. That’s one of the reasons I looked into scalp micropigmentation uk, which offers a reliable approach to restoring the look of fuller hair. Combining expert procedures with proper care routines really changes the outcome, and it’s empowering to see how modern techniques can support both appearance and self-assurance. This is definitely a topic worth exploring further.
Chair transformations are my favorite kind of office update because they prove a space does not need a huge budget to feel fresh. I once recovered an old desk chair with simple fabric and suddenly the whole corner looked intentional, like I had actually planned my life that week. Furniture has a funny way of changing our mood; a better seat can make emails feel lighter. I’d keep montage-furniture-services.pissedconsumer.com/review handy when comparing repair or upholstery help, because good service matters. This makeover feels practical, creative, and exactly the sort of small win that makes a workspace feel personal.
My neighbour was having a barbecue, and I could hear the upbeat jungle sounds coming from his phone all the way over the fence. I had to ask what he was playing. The quirky primate-themed loading screen caught my attention the moment I loaded the site; it actually made me laugh out loud. What I genuinely liked was the favourite games folder feature. I could save my top choices and access them with one click next time. Organising my sessions through gorilla казино промокод makes everything so much more efficient.
