Pretty in Pink Chair Makeover

My goal for yesterday was to makeover my sad little chair that I bought last Saturday and turn it into a beautiful accent chair for my bedroom.  I already had the paint, primer, and fabric, I just needed the motivation to get going.

This was a fairly easy project.  I just had to rip off one layer of old fabric, which I did with a flat head and a hammer.  At first, I tried with only the flat head and ended up stabbing the inside of my hand, fun stuff.  But once I got going with the hammer, it was easy peasy!

After that I wrapped an extra layer of fluff to give it a little more cushion and then stapled my beautiful pink damask fabric in place.

I then painted one coat of 1-2-3 Bulls Eye Primer and one coat of white semi-gloss paint.  I wiped the edges slightly to create a sort of antique look.
