Louis’ Upholstery (or Third Time’s a Charm!)

I’ve shared previous ideas for reupholstering this $30 chair here and here.

But I keep gravitating towards a light blue chenille style fabric like on the chair below.

I’ve landed on this Brunschwig & Fils chenille corduroy I found on eBay for $16.80 per yard.

I also like how the painted white frame of the chair is antiqued a bit. I’m pretty sure I can so this with some antiquing gel.  I’m also thinking about using some brass tacks ont he base of the chair.  Still on the fence about this though.

For those embarking on any upholstery projects, I also found this handy little tool on Amazon that makes removing staples a breeze.
