Paisley Prism: More Adventures in Upholstery

Not long ago, I posted a chair that I had recovered and said it was probably the first and last chair I would upholster. I know, I know, never say never. But, when I saw this one at an estate sale, it didn't look as though the difficulty level would be as high!

The chair was in great condition except for this stain...

Plus, I wasn't fond of the fabric.

So, why not try recovering just one more chair?

I started by removing the fabric underneath the chair to unscrew the seat from the chair...

Once the seat was removed, I pulled off the cording...

Then I pulled off the fabric...

I gave the dark wood a coat of paint I had leftover from an old project.

For the front of the chair, I used the fabric that I had removed to make a pattern. But for the back, I found that it worked better to staple on a larger piece of fabric then cut away the excess. The fabric I chose is called Paisley Prism by Waverly.

Some of the staples had to hammered in a little.

I covered the staples with trim using E6000.

Once the trim was on, I covered the seat

 and screwed it back onto the chair.

 After finishing this upholstered chair, I will NOT say that I will never recover a chair. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure that I will tackle another. After all, practice makes perfect!
