Well... after two hours of man handling some pliers and about a million staples later, I didn't get very far.
This was all that I got off of the chair
And this is what the chair looked like
You can't really tell from this picture but my hand is bright red, I have blisters starting to show and I am in PAIN!
So...at the moment the chair and I are in a fight. Big fight. I know I will win in the end, but its taking some time to dismantle and get all those stubborn staples out- ugg!
I'm resting my hand but will be back at it again very soon- this chair is going down.

wow - I'm just about to start a similiar fight with a chair of mine. I have complete confidence you will win!
Hold on....you can upholster?!?!?!? I am very very impressed. I can't wait to see the finished product!!!!! It is my dream to reupholster my own furniture! Why don't we live closer together?
Hahha, thanks for the confidence Marianne I would not say I can upholster exactly, I can put some fabric on a chair and throw a few staples in it to make it look good- if I had to do piping or sewing multiple pieces together thats another story. You should move to Boston!!
Or we should plan a huge blogger get together, that would be a blast.
hahaha oh no!!!!
