Here it is before - on second thought, during...
The chair itself is in great shape, I just fell out of love with the blonde wood finish and the 90's upholstery.
The chair got a light sanding, priming, painting and reupholstering with Braemore's Flowering Branch fabric. I love this fabric and got it locally at Gifford Street Fabrics downtown.
This was my most difficult reupholstery project yet. Even though I used the existing fabric to cut the pattern for the new upholstery, it was tough to get it to fit just right.
I think the bloody thumb and the burn marks (they call it hot glue for a reason!) are worth it! Yay me!

WOW...I'm impressed you did that yourself. Looks great!
Kim that chair looks amazing!~! What a perfect fabric and paint color. You have a very good eye, Ms. Desing woman, Merry Christmas, xo Kathysue
oh.my.goodness Kim! SO lovely! You must be so proud---what a pretty chair, and you're right--you have the scars to prove your hard work!
Love it! I do my own upholstery so I know how hard it can be on the hands! Where's it going?
Oh my gosh Kim! The refinishing and upholstery job are perfect. The fabric you used is stunning. Now...take a break and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

That's amazing! I wish I knew how to do that!
You did that yourself? Wow, I'm so impressed! And I have a lot of sympathy for you on the hot glue burns ... we did a lot of DIY projects for my daughter's wedding this summer and I have to say, I have a real love/hate thing with those glue guns!
It looks amazing! And great job on doing yourself. I actually took mine to the upholsters. I didn't even dared to do it myself. You did a wonderful job and looks great!
Great job - you are so talented! Love the fabric. Hope your wounds were worth it:)
I am loving that fabric with the black. Awesome!
Wow Kim that looks amazing! I love the fabric and changing from that blond wood made such an impact. You did a really good job too!
I'm impressed
The fabric is the perfect choice for the chair, just beautiful and you did a fabulous job with the upholstery, burns and all!
Fabulous job!! I take all of mine to the upholsterer because I am too scared to try what you can do so well!! Can't wait to see your store! Take care, Caroline
Can you say fabulous? Love the before and after, bravo!
Possibly my favorite chair re-do yet. Love it! The Roto Rooter van in the background was cracking me up.
Wow! I wish I knew how to upholster. I know it's hard work (as evidenced by your injured hands), but the end product must be so rewarding. Great job . . . love the fabric!
That chair is amazing. But more amazed at the moment that you did the reupholstery your self! I am crafty, but girl that puts me to shame! Did you have to take a class to learn how to do that?!! (not to mention the fabric selection and an eye for the darker wood). Love it. M.
Well done! It looks fabulous!
Snazzy... this definitely updates the piece. Great job! I'd love to learn how to upholster. So far I've recovered some danish chairs.... but this project feels very daunting to me.
Wonderful job, it looks so lovely, bravo:))

Um I'm just gonna go ahead and say that this chair looks freakin' awesome!!!!!!
It looks great! A modern update to a classic!
did you reupholster that yourself? Pure genius! I wish I could do that--and the fabric is wonderful-reminds me of Flowering Quince from Clarence House-
wow! what a stunning transformation! great job!
This is incredible! Bravo to you!
