Repurposing a Wingback Chair

My daughter had a yard sale a couple of weeks ago,  and my grandson put two wingback chairs in it.   I thought they had good bones and might be a fun repurposing project.  so I bought them from him.  ($10 each).

The chairs had originally belonged to my daughter,  and she had given them to him a couple of years ago.  After being in his "frat" house for a while,  they were in pretty bad condition....lol!

The first thing we did was rip all the fabric and padding off.   That was no easy task...lol!   I had no idea it would take so long.....so many staples......
It got a fresh coat of paint...notice I said"it"...we have only got one done so far.   Again...I say...it is a lot of work to strip all the fabric off!

I stapled some pretty fabric to the back......sat a cute owl in a carpenter box,  and added some faux flowers  (for now).

The springs were pretty plain so I added another layer of springs......

The springs I added were a yard sale purchase.....   .50 cents

This is not her permanent home....can't wait to show you where she is going,.....
