New Cozy Reading Chair — Budget Wise Home

New Cozy Reading Chair

Ok are you ready for the big reveal.  Here is one more look at the old thrift store chair that I picked up for $20.00.

 

Here is a look at the back.  I spackled a bunch of chips and holes, sanded, and then spray painted the frame white.

And now, drum roll please……..here she is totally transformed.

I had this professionally reupholstered in one of my favorite navy blue geometric fabrics.

The ottoman was also a fantastic thrift store find.  I bought it for just $10.00.  It was the perfect size and height to go with the chair.

I now have a comfortable and cozy little spot in my bedroom to read.  I love it!

    Oh goodness! Lovely transformation! The geometric fabric is fun and I love the crisp blue color with the yellow accents. Perfect for a cozy corner!

    Heidi, the makeover is amazing! How much does it typically cost to get something re-upholstered?

  3. katie says:

    WOW–this looks amazing. Love the transformation.

  4. Beautiful! Great job. How much did the re-upholstery cost? I’ve never done that before.

  5. Heidi says:

    The re-upholstery cost $200.00 for each piece. It’s a splurge for sure, but for a custom piece it’s really a steal to do it this way.

  6. Cathey says:

    WOW!! I have an ottoman just like that I really want to update……down the road of course. What is the name of the fabric?

  7. Heidi says:

    Cathey–the fabric is called “Slick” in navy by P. Kaufmann. It comes in a bunch of different colorways as well.

  8. Love them. Couple of questions. You paid $20 but how much was it to reuphoster and how do you check for bedbugs?
