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 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!

That looks incredible! Such a good fabric and paint choice. I'm about to redo some cane wingback chairs and I can't decide between doing a solid or a fun pattern on the cushions. Your example might have just tipped the scales!
