Metal Chair Redo

Years ago my momma had a metal chair in her bathroom sitting at her vanity that she decided to trade in for something a little more modern. Even back then I scooped up this treasure with the quickness to refinish and use in my bedroom. The chair was olive green with a camel-colored leather seat. I painted it white and recovered the seat with a thin, blue fabric… and that’s how it has stayed for years and years and years.

I finally decided I had had enough of this look, mainly the worn-in seat that I covered with quilting fabric versus home decor fabric. Rookie move.

So to start on my redo of a redo, I took the seat off of the chair and started to rip of all of the layers of fabric. First the blue.

… then the tan…

Then Remmy needed to investigate my work.

To make my chair a little more comfy, I added a layer of batting to the top.

Then I ironed the fabric for the chair and began to staple it to the cushion.

Since the seat is round I stapled ever few inches, folding the fabric along the way.

Then I put it on top of the chair to see how it looked.

Too similar to before! Time to go big or go home (where I already was… so not sure that works here… but whatevs!) I painted the chair vintage gold.

Time to add the cushion!

Before and After? Yes, please!
