**This was from a blog post I wrote back in 2010 when I was furnishing my very first Bedstuy, Brooklyn apartment on a super budget! I wanted to keep this post and several others because I love being able to look back and watch as my style has evolved over the years. So much fun! I hope you enjoy it as well!**

My goal for yesterday was to makeover my sad little chair that I bought last Saturday from a store called Junk in williamsburg, Brooklyn and turn it into a beautiful accent chair for my bedroom.  I already had the white paint, primer, and pink damask fabric, I just needed the motivation to get going.

This was a fairly easy project.  I just had to rip off one layer of old fabric, which I did with a flat head and a hammer.  At first, I tried with only the flat head and ended up stabbing the inside of my hand, fun stuff.  But once I got going with the hammer, it was easy peasy!

After that I wrapped an extra layer of fluff to give it a little more cushion and then stapled my beautiful pink damask fabric in place.

I then painted one coat of 1-2-3 Bulls Eye Primer and one coat of white semi-gloss paint.  I wiped the edges slightly to create a sort of antique look.

The  project was a lot of fun and I just love how my chair turned out!!
