There is nothing a little burlap, staples, and lime green spray paint cannot fix.... right? I found this chair for $10 at an estate sale, the same estate sale where I found my spice rack (aka stunning nail polish holder), this was in the house attached to the barn. It was dirty and had nasty stains on the seat, nothing a little cleaning, and refinishing could not fix. I'm loving my new lime green chair!

Flea Market Footstool - Before and After
I have finished the footstool I bought this weekend (yes... that quickly). I love it; now I need to finish the wing back chair that will go along with it.

Wingback Chair Progress
I have been working on my Wingback Chair for a couple weeks, doing a little bit at a time. The hardest part has been taking out the millions and millions of staples! I mean seriously! I get it, the material needs to stay on but millions of staples really?!?!? My poor abused hands... okay enough complaining.
I have gotten all the material stripped off and the chair is in such great condition that I can reuse all of the padding and batting. I ordered my material from fabric.com, and supplies from diyupholsterysupply.com.
So, tomorrow I plan on painting the legs and starting the reupholstering process. When I complete the chair I will do a post on my process, before and after photos etc.
Here is what I have done so far:
