I am really excited to share this makeover with you guys. A few weeks ago I posted about my soon-to-be madeover mushroom chenille chairs. {click here to take a look}. I needed more seating options in my small space and was looking for statement chairs. What I was finding was either
a) way out of my price range
b) way out of my style range
So I decided to go with option #B and makeover some chairs the way I liked. I bought these chairs on a super sale at a local store – they were so affordable, so comfy and, in my opinion, so ugly. I found fabric that I loved and it was only $5/yard. I also found a fantastic local reupholsterer and negotiated the work. The chairs were picked up and delivered in…2 days. Can you believe? {Seriously – LA people, if you anything reupholstered, email me and I’ll get you this guys info – amazing and so nice too}
To say I love these chairs is a serious understatement. I feel good walking by them – I know, right? 
But to me that’s making your house a home, creating a {small} space so you want to really live in it. I wrote about that idea right here. If you have something in your home that want to create then go for it! With a little research, working your budget and thinking outside the design box, you can literally create something custom and new just for you.

I love it when projects come together like this, and for fabulous prices! I'm looking for more chairs for my living room right now, and have definitely reconsidered reupholstering if I find some shapes I love.
Wow! I LOVE these chairs! They look awesome in your room!
They look amazing!! So nice when you can walk into a space and it makes you smile
Oh my goodness, I LOVE those chairs! The bold graphic print is utter perfection. Also loving the ladder magazine rack – heart!

Fabulous! And for $5 a yard — that's INSANE!
Thanks for commenting, everyone
I really love these chairs! Can you tell? 
Fantastic!! I love it!
Yes, to answer your question: I just spent $250 at IKEA and completely transformed my kitchen! I replaced 2 hodge-podge, bulky, free-standing cabinets with some Billy bookcases with doors… AND created a little "breakfast bar" with a shelf mounted (with cute brackets) at counter height. Plus 2 counter stools. It's AMAZING what a simple, inexpensive change can do! I used to HATE my kitchen… now I LOVE being in there! Mission accomplished!
Hi, I just found your blog, and I love it!!! I'm gonna add you to my blogroll. Xoxo ♥

Awesome! You've found a new fan in me – all the way from South Africa! my space has a similar set up, book shelves included, so I really could relate to this fun idea!
What an amazing transformation! Great fabric choice!
Looks awesome!
They are amazing! I'd like to know where in the heck you found fabric for that price – I hope you bought it all!
I love the bold choice in fabric. Is it Ikea? They look fantastic!
BEAUTIFUL!!!
love it!
This is beautiful – love the bold geometric pattern, it is timeless. Which is exactly what you want from such an investment!
I couldn't comment when you first wrote this post, but yes, I did a makeover in my 320 sq ft home that I share with my hubby and 13 year old son.

Those chairs are crazy good!
Yes please, I'm here in Los Angeles and would love the name of your upholstery guy.
I really love your blog and felt a little out of the club after I moved to a bigger space.
Thanks for all the inspiration!
Fabulous, Fabulous, Fabulous! A perfect addition to an already lovely room. I know just what you mean about feeling happy when you walk by them. I have some lamps that have the same effect on me, lol.
Wow, amazing transformation. Does your guy do slipcovers. to? I'd love the tel#. Thanks Kim
They look fantastic!!!!
The chairs are gorgeous! It's good to know that there is someone that does affordable upholstery too.
I loooove your genius ideas of creating such great pieces. Can you please let me know the guy you used to reupholstered the chairs . Thanks
Interesting! I thought upholstering was pretty expensive. How much was it to upholster the chair?
I do recycling on my home stuffs too. I can even less on expenses for purchasing one. I could do the design I want. I do visit some blog that orientates the readers on stylish way of recycling.
where is your magazine ladder from…it's amazing!
