She is finished! Remember where we started?
I finished up today with the double welt cord.
I attached the double welt with my hot glue gun to hide all of my staple indiscretions. For whatever reason I did not pass the hot glue gun class in high school. I always manage to injure myself, luckily it wasn’t too bad this time. But it was worth it. Love!
I really love how the double welt gives the chair such a nice tailored look.
This chair is a SERIOUS statement piece. Isn’t it just gorgeous? Perfect for a designer’s home office I think.
Need to catch up?
Wow!!! That is truly amazing!
Sarah…I am seriously so amazed…I could never ever dream of doing this AWESOME of a job…and the patience to see the whole project through…you're awesome! Hope you make lots and lots of money!

Simply stunning! I can't believe you did that yourself! I'm about to attempt recovering an old box couch that I picked up at the auctions. I'm preparing myself for injury or a mental breakdown, but I will NOT GIVE UP!

How fun, it looks so "hip" now. Nice choice of fabric, Sarah.
you did an absolutely fabulous job – looks retro edgy marvelous!
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! I have any clue where to start with upholstery. I'm amazed at your talent!
Can I just reiterate how incredibly impressed I am with your diy daring? And the double-welt? You did a perfect job. it looks professionally done.
You did SUCH an AMAZING JOB! It looks better than professional. It's a work of art!
This is amazing! If only I had room for more furniture!

Very nice makeover … and you glued the cording? That's a good idea. Nice brick floor! I came by way of Brambleberry's Time Travel Thursday. Thanks, Jenn
Sarah!! Wowzers!!!! Victoria is a babe!
I really love the fabric you used, the whole chair looks amazing! I really need to learn to reupholster.
This is so great. I am chair obsessed, as I am a photographer who never seems to get enough of different styles and colours of chairs. I LOVE your redo
I adore the fabric. This is absolutely gorgeous.

I absolutely adore this chair!
This chair is fantastic! I love the fabric. Definitely a statement piece
Your chair is really so eye-catching and "today"! You certainly transformed it into a lovely piece of furniture. Try using Fabric Tac glue in place of your glue gun. It will not burn your fingers and holds beautifully.
You must secretly be a professional reupholsterer. AMAZING. SIMPLY AMAZING!
Jenny
You did a fabulous job on the chair, it seriously looks like something from Anthropologie! Awesome!
Thank you for sharing this project, the finished piece looks amazing!
I loved it so much, I blogged about it here:

the pattern is daring, but it looks fantastic. I have a grand passion four chairs, so it deffinately looks great.
