Before and Afters..... Family Room

There are a number of projects that went into finishing our family room. But one of the larger projects was the transformation of the chair you see below. Coming from a small rental home to this, we didn't have a lot of furniture. One of our offices was auctioning off some furniture so we got a good price on it and the shape matched well, but the color as you can see left something to be desired...

We looked into slipcovers, but the husband hated the loose look of them. I tried to find one with the right shape that would fit more snugly but the only one I found cost more than it would have been to buy a new chair. So with one new sewing machine and two pillows under my belt I thought how hard could it be? A week's worth of sewing and more than a few imperfections later we now have a nice navy chair:

For the price, I'm pretty happy with the result. And it no longer sticks out like a sore thumb. :)
