If you want to see from start to finish, here is back where I started.
Craigslist find for $20
Removing the yucky fabric and million staples that held said fabric on, leaving me with a wood frame and some burlap. Also having a little design ADD when picking out fabric- as discussed here.Fast forward a few weeks to last night and ta-da
A lovely blue and white striped fabric chair with brushed nickel nail head trim detail.
Finished it just in time for the BF to come home on Sunday- fingers crossed he likes it.
Lastly, I need to give three lovely bloggers a large THANK YOU. Camila from High-Heeled Foot in the Door and Lauren from Pure Style Home for helping me with my struggle in fabric choice by emailing me lots and lots of ideas. Also, Kristine from Living With Style for the amazing shout-out she gave me on her blog today. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all three of you!!
Have a great weekend everyone!

STunning transformation!! I'm just speechless b/c my jaw has hit the floor!
Oh my gosh, you simply must must must do a step by step post on how to do this! We have a chair that I was dreading taking to the upholstery place because I knew it would cost a kabillion dollars.
It looks beautiful and I'm linking up to stay tuned!

Okay I promise this is the last comment I'll post today... but I just thought it was hysterical that I picked nearly the EXACT same fabric for my chairs-- looks fabulous! Great job!
