Reupholstered :: Chair

Kevin & I spotted this beauty [chair] at a friends yard sale, 
but to our dismay someone had already snagged it up.
:: but :: Little did we know it would find it's way to us! 
Once my friend got the chair home, she decided that she didn't want it.
She knew we had been eying it so she sold it to us for $8! 
Thank you Amanda [for originally selling the chair] and Nicole [for deciding to sell to us].
We love this chair!

:: This has been my biggest reupholstering project yet ::
I love how it turned out and how well the pattern and colors go in this nook area.
