chair reupholster in greek key

                     I found this cane chair at an estate sale and happily paid full asking price - $10!
                              Here is a quick rundown of how I reupholstered it in 85 simple steps,

                                              just kidding, it really wasn't bad, I promise!

                                      

                                                              ~ before and after~

                                       

    

                      I'm not the only one at our house who loves a classic greek key fabric!

I took the easy way out revised it a bit and

didn't make the box cushion or double welt since it was my first time.

I chose one covered button centered on the back cushion - brave, I know!

              ~  begin by removing trim/welt, staples, existing fabric and foam

              ~  take photos as you take it apart, you'll need them when you put it back together

              ~  use the pieces you remove as a pattern onto your new fabric

              ~  when it's down to bare bones, refinish as you wish

              ~  remember the photos you took - follow them as you reupholster!

It adds a nice touch to the living room update!
