Another goodwill chair makeover

here is the before, only $2.99! 


and the after with fresh paint and fabric


The paint was more leftover from my kitchen cabinets, and the fabric was an old IKEA shower curtain.
My other goodwill painted chairs are at the table by the window, it's my new sewing place for more summer projects!

I also made some pillow covers using the shower curtain fabric.  I got this idea from this post to use the holes that were for the shower curtain rings in place of button holes.  So after cutting to size and sewing on 3 sides then I just had to sew on the buttons, these were super quick to make!



this one I added a little trim to:
