Asian Chair Makeover

Look at my latest reupholstery project!

Aren't they fun?! 

I found this lovely suzani-style fabric from Waverly and fell in love! This fabric would make such awesome curtains. Hmm.....

I found these lovely asian chairs at a garage sale about a month ago.  The gentleman said they came out of a mulit-million dollar condo downtown (chicago.)  They had a bit of chipping to the finish and I wasn't too fond of the finish anyway. 

This is what they looked like BEFORE:

There were a few spots of missing finish and the red and black combo was just a bit too stereotypical asian for my taste. I repainted them gray and then ripped off a million staples to recover them with the new fabric and gimp.  I'm thrilled with how they turned out and we'll see what I can sell them for on craigslist...(hey, I need to finance my many other proposed decorting projects!)

UPDATE: I sold them within a week for the full price I was asking! Woohoo.

After:

Our basement is almost to a stage where I can show off how it's looking!  The bathroom is essentially done and them two bedrooms basically just need carpet.  Once the hall and rec room trim and moulding are done, the fun of decorating begins!  Over the last few months, I've been getting accessories ready and have a few projects to share soon.  I'll be SO happy to be done with all the dust!  Yippeee!
