Potential

Tacara needed a new chair for her desk, and I needed her to have a chair for her desk.  The constant disappearance of my dining and kitchen chairs, just wasn't working for me.  So we window shopped for chairs and we loved these.


$219 for the chair...cushion sold separately


$159

$99

$89

Though we loved the above, our very limited budget prevented such purchases, so meet the budget lover wonder.


$10

Retailing for a whopping $10 at the Salvation Army, count it sold!

So, I sanded.....

I bought 2 types of sand paper...$3.97 each.
One to remove the varnish and stain, and one for smoothing.


I primed with a can of Rustoleum


I painted the chair gloss white with a can of 2X Rustoleum.

I recovered using a staple gun and this cute fabric from Hancock's. 
It was a $1.79 for 1/2 a yard....caught a sale.


Waa-Laa!



And there you have our budget friendly chair that cost us about $25!  And Tacara loves it!
