Dumpster Chair | before & after

Remember this chair I rescued from certain death in the dumpster?
Chair  free
Valspar primer & paint  $9.00
Padding & Fabric  $12.00
Total project = $21.00
Cute factor - priceless!

I've been working on this project off and on for what, 9 months now?  Time to wrap it up and give BSG his due space in the garage!  First I removed the (yucky) old seat and wiped the cobwebs off.

Sanded.

Primed.

Two coats of paint - a tad too close to the car, I might add. Whoops.

Recovered the seat with new padding and some chic fabric.
Nate Berkus would be proud, no?  And....voila! the finished product, ready to increase the cute factor in any room!

Very cute - love the fabric. Funny, I thought, wow, she is painting close to her car, and then I read your comment.

I am SO impressed! I would have never seen the chair in its before state and been able to dream of its future!
