$2 Restore Chair
I’ve got a great little chair makeover to share with you guys. I picked up a sad, worn chair at the Habitat for Humanity Restore. My youngest had outgrown her two little chairs, so when I came across a chair at the Restore for only $2 I scooped it up.
If you’ve been around my blog for a while you know I adore paint. Add some fun fabric to the mix and you’ve got magic.
Of course, you want to see the before…
So sad! Like I said… nothing some paint and fabric can’t fix!

Here’s what I used: (affiliate links included for your convenience)
The base of the chair was spray-painted with Valspar’s Brilliant Silver. It’s a great shiny silver metal spray paint color!
The cane backing was spray painted with Krylon’s Blue Ocean Breeze. Such a beautiful light teal blue.
and I found this adorably cute fabric at Walmart… score! It’s a brushed cotton, so super soft and cozy. Her sister is going to make her a couple of throw pillows with the leftover fabric.
It’s vibrant and colorful…. just like her personality.
Now the thrift store team has been busy this January – check out what they’ve been working on!

This is super cute, great makeover!
Was curious how you did this. Did you unscrew everything so it was all unattached, then went about painting and reupholstering?
Wow – I love the pretty pops of color you added Maryann! Gorgeous makeover – you are so clever! Pinned!!!!
What a cute, cute chair! I love your fabric and paint choices.
This turned out great, Maryann, and I LOVE the colors!

Holy moly…I see these chairs all the time @ Salvation Army. I never gave it a thought to paint the top. GREAT idea. Your choices of color and fabric are right on too! I struggle w/ that. Great job Maryann!
