great chair makeover-part 2

A few weeks back I posted {here} about this chair.

A quick recap for those of you who didn't read that post.  I bought the chair at our city-wide rummage sale for $1.50. 

Good deal, huh?
 
I reupholstered it using some Michale Miller laminated damask print cotton that I just so happened to have on hand.  I chose to use the laminated cotton because I have little messy hands in my home and it'll be easy to wipe clean.  I also used some left over spray paint from a previous project so this whole makeover really only cost me only $1.50.
So much nicer!  You'd never know this baby cost me $1.50!

Nevermind the partially painted wood baseboards.  We're in the process of replacing them!
