I love hunting down cheap furniture, especially chairs. This one was about £10 from a second-hand store, and was in dire need of some emergency re-styling. Originally, it was dark brown and had an awful dark brown vinyl covered cushion. (I'm all for the 70s but this was pushing it)!
I sanded it down by hand, repainted with an oil-based gloss white and added a fresh new foam piece to the cushion. I sourced some beautiful hand-printed Swedish fabric to reupholster it with, and after enlisting the help of my boyfriend, we used a simple staple gun to secure it to the base.
Result - a beautiful, inexpensive, original piece - made right at home!
