Have you ever heard the saying "You can't put lipstick on a pig"? I remember the first time I heard it I almost fell over with laughter. Well let me tell you, this chair was a real oinker.
I couldn't wait to get out the white paint. Once I came home and took the necessary (for blogging) before pictures I started to dismantle the seat. The material was wretched and smelled like...well you get the idea.
If anyone knows who sells them for a reasonable price, please let me know.

Wow, you've made a great chair out of this $10 find. Looks so perfect dressed in white with the new IKEA fabric. Thanks for sharing and stop by my blog if you have the time. I did a makeover of a pig of a mannequin. :) It went from bad to fab.

Don't you just love it when you find a bargain and you know you can make it cute for next to nothing.
hey i was at your house ealier today...and then i checked and you were visiting me....cool come back, and i will see what kind of monkey business i can muster up..sorry you missed the magnet men....i still think they were funny, but somebody made a comment....so well ya know...I am a crowd pleaser, well at least to the yelping minority.
Just found your wonderful blog today.
I love the way you make over the chair and i also love the tag "INSPIRE" is that from wood ?
What a wonderful transformation, it's beautiful and I looove the fabric you used! Happy WW! Debbie @ Cottage Hann~Me~Downs
Oh I love your chair makeover Marina! I love your IKEA fabric. I know grainsacks are expensive, but you could use a burlap coffee sack, I got mine for $5 from my local coffee shop as they roast their own beans on site. Or the gorgeous and very clever Samantha from The Nest made a brilliant fake grainsack pillow, you could make a fake grainsack cover?. Wishing you a wonderful weekend ~ Tina xx
Lovely' i am working on few upholstery projects:)
Great chair makeover. Saw your name in the comment section on another blog. You had me at "shabby" and "white." Looking forward to following you.
