I did it. Tackled my first (and hopefully last) reupholstery project... well besides dinning room chairs... but that doesn't really count. I bought two of these chairs at a yard sale a couple of months ago for $3 each:
They have a pretty cool style to them, and are very very sturdy chairs. They were fairly clean, so I thought I could get away with just painting the wood white, and leaving the burnt orange, since I dont mind that color. Then we bought a leather couch (which after all transactions were said and done, ended up not costing anything (after selling our couches and then buying a super crazy deal couch and selling for a bit more)), and the burnt orange mixed with the dark brown leather looked way too 70's for me.
I decided that I liked them enough to try and tackle a reupolstery project. I didn't know what I was getting myself into, and I can (almost) promise you that i will never ever attempt it again. They aren't absolutely perfect, but I really loved how they turned out.
After a lot of hard work, sweat, and tears (really - it was that frustrating), this was the outcome:
