Sunroom Chair transformed!
See if I’m stuck in a Goodwill unable to leave.
And this at Pottery barn…….
And this on Fabrics.com…….
Those “today” fabrics had me re-think getting rid of the old sturdy fabric.
They were really good cushions.
They were actually zippered slip covers over the old chair cushions.
I pulled them off…..
And inhaled 40 years of “people dander”……
I grossed myself out.
I know, I am grossing you out.
But you can’t just get away with getting all the good here people.
People….. and dirt dust was flying everywhere.
Next time I’m wearing a mask.
For real.
But I took one for the team guys!
You owe me!
Want to see if it was worth it?
Before…..
And after…….
After again……
And again……
These cushions are so comfortable!
I spotted and washed the slipcovers and vacuumed and cleaned the old cushions.
The stuffing inside was spotless and like packed cotton.
They are sooooooooo heavy!
The covers are like new……
What do you think?
To flip these pieces….just saving the dollars from slipcovers helps.
I would use them like this.
But I love this style of fabric.
So, I am wondering if other people will.
I love when styles make their cycle.
Can you believe how close this fabric is to the others?
What are your thoughts?
I will show you how I did it tomorrow…..
Super dee dooper easy.
For real.
Love,
Me

You are on a roll girl! I LOVE them & the fabric. FANTASTIC!
Oh! Love the fabric! The chairs turned out so nice. Are they as heavy as they look? Really great looking, again!
I think it looks great! Good job!

Wow, you do have an eye for good junk. That first pic made me say “what the H” out loud!! What a wonderful transformation. The cushions are fab! I can just see these chairs in a sunroom….lovely.
Black!!?! Are you kidding me? I would have hyperventilated too! I think you did an awesome job, I love them in white! And the green pillows look wonderful with that fabric. I bet coral accent pillows would be a great (and different) spring/summer look.
You did an amazing job!
Oh my….just clicked over to read your “bell ringing” post…hysterical!! Â Love the chairs! 🙂
I just love what you did here…they are so cozy and gorgeous!
They are soooo cute, I love them in white, I would have hyperventilated also if they were going to be turned black instead.
LOVE this
I absolutely love the chairs how you re did them !!! wonderful !Â
Your chairs are adorable!
Danielle
OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!! These chairs ARE my favorite of all you’ve done! ACK! I love them! So glad you kept the fabric that was on them….oh, girl. Let’s talk about that TV program…..and not just for your talent, but for your sense of humor! You da bom!!!!
SO BEAUTIFUL!!Â
So glad you prayed those women away—black??? They are gorgeous and thanks for taking one for the team, seriously. I wear a mask (asthma) to go through the file cabinet. As for the fabric, I love it, too. Never would have known it wasn’t new. Laundry magician you are. And you must have one good vacuum.
Janet
These turned out beautiful!
I found you on Tip Junkie, and I just LOVE what you did. I wish I was that talented!
By the way, I am hosting a giveaway right now & would love to have you check it out!

You know what? The chairs are actually so heavy due to the cushions…..those cushions are that heavy……Love, Me
Thanks Stacey! Love, Me
Oh yeah – what a great transformation. Â I can hardly believe these are the same chairs.
You are so funny – I did shudder a bit at the people dander, but only because its happened to me before :D I’m usually pretty good about seeing potential in furniture, but I’m pretty sure I would have walked on by not knowing what I was missing out on. They turned out beautifully!!!!Â
Great job :)Â You made my top 3 most clicked list from Tutorial Tuesday this week – congrats!
Yeah they look better now, most definitely. Great job:)
These chairs are unbelievable! I would have totally walked by them. Good job!!!! I have prayed people away from something too …funny how that works. Ha!
I’m your newest follower. Saw your post on Hope Studios.
