Mid Century Chair Recovered

Remember my orange chair in need of some love? Well, I finally look some time this week to recover the cushions.

I had wanted to find some fabric with a little funk (like metallic gold polka dots), but no such luck. So, I decided to go neutral and classic with grey linen.

And it was a very inexpensive job. I bought this fabric for $5 a yard at a wholesale fabric place. I decided to reuse the old zippers and even the foam inserts. I simply took apart the old cushion covers and then cut my pattern from them. I did wrap the foam in some new batting to soften the edges. So, in total, this little makeover cost me $10. I’m feeling pretty good about that. I can add funk (pattern and color) with pillows and maybe a throw.

I’m liking this little corner in my bedroom even more now.
