Guest Post- Darling Re-furbished Chair
Hi all you Craft-O-Maniac readers! I’m Janet, and I’m the proprietor of I HEART My Glue Gun. I am so thrilled to be over here today! Jen is just AWESOME, and I adore her blog!
So today I’m going to share with you a chair I recently revamped! I picked this puppy up from a local thrift shop for $7.00
I was totally drawn in by the floral design on top….so pretty! But, the chair could use a makeover. So that’s what it got!
First things first-disassemble the chair.
Lookin’ better already.
Now it’s got a fresh coat of Rustoleum’s Heirloom White….stinkin’ LOVE this color!
Then I applied some ralph lauren faux technique glaze (so glad I got this stuff before they discontinued it!)
I got it into all the little crevices and let it sit for a minute before wiping it off with a wet rag.
I then used the burlap I bought at walmart for $1.68 to cover the seat.
I stapled the flat sides first, and then gathered the corners by pinching them, then pressing them down and stapling.
And then the chair appears to be finished!
Only, I feel like it’s missing something! So after some thought, I came up with something-a monogram of our last name’s letter. So I busted out my cricut (a.k.a. My PRECIOUS) and whipped up a “G” monogram.
I cut my “G” out on contact paper that I got at the $0.99 cents store, and stuck it to the chair seat.
After dabbing with paint and letting it dry, I CAAARRREFULLLY pulled back the stencil and voila! A beautiful “G” monogram, which I think provided the PERFECT touch to my chair!
So there you have it! From Shabby to Chic, and PERFECT for our bathroom vanity!
Thanks for having me, Jen!
Please come visit me when you get a chance at I HEART My Glue Gun! See ya there!

It looks wonderful!!
I so love this chair-i got 3 of the same at GW and plan on attaching them into a bench!! Your monogram is perfect!!
Cauuute Chair! I so want a cricut. Maybe that will be my next major purchase, after the nail gun I’m saving for.
This chair is PRECIOUS! I love the formal carved back and the rustic burlap put together…too stinkin’ cute!
