DIY: The New Old Chair

It started like this




The bits of brown are what remain of a brown vinyl dark faux wood grain. I believe the chair is older than me – we've had it for as long as I can remember.

Then, came spray paint






This is the first item I've sprayed painted that's more than 1" high; the drips aren't a total surprise. But holding the spray can did a number on my hand. When I tried to write, my six looked like a zero; I couldn't properly hold the pen. It took at least an hour to regain the proper muscle control.

Finally, the seat cushion




I second guessed myself and ended up using less foam than I should've. Oh well.


Nonetheless, I'm pleased with the results.
