99 cent chair. Not kidding.

Here's what I did this morning:

Of course, it's a train fort. Duh. I cannot believe you did not know.

Here's what I did this afternoon. I turned this chair from this post way back last year:

Into this:

 

Hey, I know what you're thinking. That looks a lot like this:

From this post. You're right. I found the new chair at another Thrift Store and it was only $.99. Yep. $.99. That's it. So, I scooped it up and brought it home. I could have done something crazy with it, but we've moved our entire house around, and now both chairs are in the office-playroom-that-was meant-to-be-the-formal-dining-room and I like things to be similar. Not matchy-matchy, but similar. I love them both. I can't decide which I like better. Although, I will tell you the 99 cent chair was harder to do. Different lines, those little arm thingies. Annoying. And I sound so professional.

I am sure professional upholsterers are screaming at me right now - "Staple gun!? Glue gun!? Fabric glue!? Spray paint!? You've got to be kidding me! Material from Goodwill for $3.99?! Ugghhh!" Guess what? I DON'T CARE! I am happy with it, and if the glue comes off, or the chair breaks, oh well. It was 99 cents!!!! Not even a dollar. Seriously.

You can see my tutorial on the chair here. And remember, if you don't swear, cry, burn your finger, staple your hand or throw a tool, you are not doing it right.
