Thrift Refurbish :)

I've been on Vacation this week and have decided to devote ALL my time to thrifting .Is thrifting even a word? It is now! :) I spent all afternoon Tuesday going to different thrift stores to find that perfect piece that I could turn to be an amazing piece! and I found it!

I got this steal for $5.99! I hurried home and took this puppy apart! The top pad and chair pad were held together by screws. I took them apart and started sanding. I used a new detail pad that worked awesome on removing finish from furniture. After sanding and wiping down dirt and grime. I started staining. I loved the wood finish on this chair. Right now I am obsessed with keeping the wood just giving it a little love. So I went with a dark cherry wood finish. I did about 2 coats on this piece. I let it dry for about 30 minutes in between coats. I finished it with a polyurethane gel. This is to keep the stain sealed. After letting it dry overnight. Wednesday morning I headed to Hobby Lobby. FYI get the app so you can always have a 40% coupon on hand! I scored this fabric for about 10$! and I have plenty extra :) I left the fabric that was already on it and just stapled the new fabric right on top of the old.

IM IN LOVE WITH THIS PEICE!!! SO EASY!!  I cant wait to put it in my living room corner! I put this awesome chair together for about $12!!
