Office Chair Makeover by Jenny

Recently, my friend Jenny from my hometown Jacksonville, FL, turned me onto DIY blogger Kate's Centsational Girl weblog.  Kate takes pieces of furniture that seem absolutely hopeless and turns them into something fabulous!  We haven't been able to get enough of her blog and she has been a huge inspiration for many of mine and Jenny's latest home projects.

This past week Jenny and her mother Jeanne created an amazing office chair transformation out of an old Mid-Century Modern dining room chair. I thought it turned out so beautifully, that I had to share the before and after!

Jenny was inspired by Kate's One Fair Chair post, where Kate took a French Style chair, repainted and reupholstered it and made it into a beautiful office chair. Jenny did some thrift and antique store hunting in Jacksonville and found the set of four dining chairs for the amazing price $60.

Jenny's price list breakdown:

$15- chair

$7- paint (Rustoleum's 2x gloss black)

$3.50- piece of fabric
$5- chair foam (that stuff is ridiculously expensive!)

all the fun of doing this- priceless ;)

$30 for a new office chair, not to shabby!!

A big thanks to Jenny for sharing her beautiful transformation with us!
