Old Fashioned to Modern

I found this beauty on Craigslist and snatched it up.  I was needing a chair for one of the corners of our bedroom.  I have had a table chair there for a long time waiting for just the right chair.  It looks kinda cute but close up it is really dirty and a bit out dated.

                                              

I took off the tack strip but didn't need to take off the fabric, yeahhh!  I added some batting because there were two low spots on it and I also wanted to give it a crisper look.  I already had the fabric and the batting so this project was fun and cheap from the start.  I started out using an electric staple gun and it was a, "piece of crap", (my husbands words) and I agreed.  So I switched over to my great staple gun and the compressor, so, so, much better.

I got some trim at JoAnn's and glued it in place.  It matched the material so well.  I am very pleased at how it turned out, and the best part is that it was such a fast project.  I did want to add a finishing touch with a pillow.  It was also fast.  I just wrapped the pillow form with the fabric that I had left from the bed skirt.  I finished it off with a trim that I already had and then made a flower for it. I left the finish on the wood, (even though I was tempted to paint it), because it goes with my bedroom furniture.  It looks so beautifl in my bedroom.
