Office Chair Re-do

I have been working on my closet office  It is looking better, but, not quite done yet.  I did want to show you my chair though.

This is what I started with -- sorry, I forgot to take a before picture.  However, it was a chair just like this, only all white.

This is a chair pad my kids got me for Christmas.

The bottom is very sticky (even picked up some paint -- YIKES).   However, it is very ugly (sorry kids).  It also made me feel older.

Now, this is the coolest thing ever, this is an awesome burlap sack.  I ordered it from burlapfabric.com.  What a wonderful cover for my ugly cushion.

I wanted to keep the sticky on the back so the pad won't slide around.  I just measured the top and sides and cut a piece out.  I love the stripe, so I made sure that is would be on the piece I cut out.

This is awesome if you don't want to sew (or don't know how).

Just run a line all around the burlap so it wont unravel on you.

I pinned the cushion together because that is how it looks in the chair and I wanted a snug fit.

I waited for the glue to dry then I sprayed it with tacky glue and pressed it down smooth.  I just tucked and glued all the edges.  I now the underneath is not pretty, but, I wanted to keep the sticky part so it would hold in my chair in place.

I then took some black paint, a brush and added No. 1 to it with some stencils I got from Wal-Mart.

Not too bad.  I like it much better than the the solid black pad.  Now on to the chair.

It was an old chippy white chair.  I didn't sand it because I wanted the chippy look to show through. I'm happy with the way it turned out.  I just used a glossy yellow paint from Wal-Mart.

I did sand it in areas and used a little stain to help the distress show through.

Well, that is that.  What do think?

Thanks for stopping by.
