I bought this
chair for $4 at a yard sale over the summer and knew that it could be
beautiful if given a new upholstery job. What do I know about
upholstery? Nothing. So, I researched quite a bit and I was finally
motivated to finish before December and the holidays came around.

I worked on it off and on over the fall... taking the staples off,
debating on a fabric choice, researching more and more and finally came
to the day when it was all ready to be recovered. Stephen helped me a
ton and I couldn't have done it without his muscle. Seriously- who knew you had to have such muscles for upholstery?
We
made a few mistakes (I did) in cutting the fabric and it isn't perfect
but it is functional and we really like it. I was going to be crazy
and sew my own piping for the edges but after seeing the cost of the
custom footer I would have to buy, I said "forget it" and got some $3
decorative trim from the Hobster (Hobby Lobby) and hot-glued that right
on. Much easier and what was I thinking?
