From a Monster to a Prince

I have noticed that at my Goodwill there are shoppers who try to "hide" items.

Look-y what I found ...

An Army green solid wood chair with a faux leather seat.

Nice no?

Actually, I liked the lines ...

Someone had it hidden in the carpet section. Sillies !!!

Do they not know that I HUNT when I'm there and when I find a bargain

welp, at $7.99 it's MINE !!!

Back to the chair ~

I had seen on Michele Raven Designs site a chair that I wanted to try and recreate

and when I saw this green monster, I knew it would look perfect.

I started by sanding then priming ...

Then my trusty Hairloom White made an appearance and a lil bit of sanding ...

 

The next to go was the lovely faux black leather.

The 80's called, they want their leather back, lol.

But look ... 2 LAYERS OF FABRIC !!!

Can you say ewww ???

Luckily, the stuffing on the chair was in good condition : )

After recovering it with a unbleached cotton ...

Using my scrapbook stamps, fabric paint

 and re-attaching it to the chair 

this is how it turned out ...

So much better!!!

It went from a monster to a prince : )

Feb 14, 1998 is my anniversary : )

Thanks for stopping by ~
