Another Chair

So I found this chair on the side of the road. I thought ìf it`s still there on my way home, I`m picking it up! It was there. So I brought it home and my husband shook his head.
I followed the tutorial at Design Invention. Essentially I just took it apart peice by pain-staking peice (do you know how many staples they use?!). Then I cut each peice from the new fabric (which is actually a duvet that was on sale for $36!). I put it all back together & here is the end result:

Isn't it uber-cool? I am quite pleased (although I don't want anyone to sit in it! just look at it!).

  1. Yes it is very cool. You did a wonderful job. Although you didn't go through the process step by step, I know it is a LOT of work - good for you for using a duvet! If you think of it, please link up with Fabric Fun Thursday this week :).
