1
Find an old chair!
I found mine at St. Vincent De Paul for $5. It was chipped in a few places but that doesn't matter it can be fixed. -
2
The most important step is to prep the surface!
You must sand down the entire chair until a smooth and even surface forms. -
3
After sanding fill in any gaps or chips with wood filler and allow 2-3 days to dry.

My seat was really easy to refurbish compared to others! I simply popped off the seat and pinned on a new piece of fabric.
-
5
After the wood filler has dried the painting can begin!
I used 2 coats of primer and 1 coat of white paint. -

Pull the cushion onto the frame and viola!
