My Goodwill Chair

While in Oregon we bought a chair at the Goodwill Outlet Store for $5.00. There were two of them and I kind of wish I had gotten the second one.

But we only needed one for Sadie's portable high chair so I only got the one.

Isn't it a beauty?



I can't believe a chair in such good condition would make it all the way to the Goodwill Outlet store.

Well after purchasing the chair the first thing I noticed about it was that the fabric smelt strongly like...well like the thing that sits on it.

So I went to Joanns yesterday and bought some fabric (they are currently having their 50% off red tag apparel fabric sale, just so you know).

I got my 20 inches of fabric for about .60 cents.

Here's how it looks now.



Not bad for a .60 cent improvement and my first attempt at reupholstering.

  1. Oh my gosh! I have been looking for two chairs with this exact style to convert into a settee! The chair looks so cute, though!
