The First Go-around

Since moving to Arizona I have become an addict of 50% off Goodwill Saturdays. I started my DIY adventures with this chair I bought for only $6. The picture doesn't do the ugliness of it justice, but the paint job was bright orange and the fabric was dirty, dingy, and worn.

I removed the padding and primed the chair with Krylon spray paint primer. Definitely the way to go; so simple and easy. Mind you I was doing all of this in over 90 degree weather -- or should I say the beginning of an Arizona summer. I must really love this if I subject myself to that kind of torture!

This is the finished product! I bought enough material to cover 3 more chairs and a bench to complete a dining room set (those projects soon to be finished).
