About six months ago i finally got around to reupholstering Missy’s little armchair.

Here is the before and after and a link to the original post.

It was a little kids armchair that i picked up off the side of the road!
It was in bad condition, but the frame was in perfect condition, which is what i needed! : )

It was the first time that i had tried upholstering anything and i was actually really happy with the results.

I covered the chair with vintage material that i had found at a school gala. It was full of rich reds & oranges and looked great in our living room.

Well since then we’ve moved homes & Missy now has her own bedroom.
Her little armchair is perfect for her to sit in and read her books but no longer fits in with her girly, pink, slightly-eclectic bedroom.

So, yup, i decided to reupholster AGAIN! : )

This time i was more prepared!! : )
Hubby had bought me a new staple gun, as i had found my old one really hard to use with one hand, i had figured out that you can buy staples in different lengths!!!(yup! that’s how unprepared i was the first time!! : ) & i had cute, thick material that was more appropriate for upholstering.

I decided to keep the seat cushion loose at it will make cleaning easier.

This project took about 2 hours and the material was bought on sale from Spotlight for $6 ($2 per metre).
A great, reasonable quick project that has a big impact in a little girls room : )

This was a little taster of Missy’s bedroom.

It’s almost finished and then i’ll share the whole room! I just had the rug to make which will hopefully be ready to start very soon!! I’ve been collecting material and i think i almost have enough : D

We love our little chair!!

Hope you do too!!
