Have a Seat, Stay Awhile:Thrift Chair Makeover

Yes, dearies the living room makeover continues! I have had my little pea-pickin heart set on adding a chair to the side of our TV dresser to help dress it up a bit. 

I wouldn't exactly say it was love at first sight when I stumbled upon this grungy little chair at a local thrift store.

But there is always hope, right?

I was kinda of diggen the bamboo inspired frame & I knew some new fabric would help breathe some life back into this old cranky lady. Plus, it was only $9.

I mean nowadays you can barely buy lunch for that amount.

So after I hit up the fabric store it was time to whip out the screw driver, upholstery staple gun, & spray paint. Oh, Catalina Mist how I heart you.

An hour later I had a whole new chair!

To help scale back on the blue in this room{I may be going a bit overboard with the blue BUT it's my favorite color!} I thought it would be puuurrty to add this inexpensive ruffle, brown pillow I found for $7 buckaroos. Of course the hubby asked why

 "the pillow looked like a bad, ruffle tuxedo shirt from the 70's?"

 I, on the other hand, wonder why we don't own a dog house for him to sleep in tonight?

And to save yourself the annoying task of scrolling, here it is once again.

 So what fun things have you scored at the thrift store lately?
