This past week I decided I should do something with it, so the first thing I did was strip it down to the springs which I noticed needed to be retied.
Luckily, I had remembered my sister sent me a book on reupholstering months before, and fortunate for me there was a chapter on retying springs. YAY!!!!
This little book became my best friend for this project.
Once the springs were tackled I moved onto covering it with fabric.
Can you guess what kind of fabric I used?
I used dropcloth.
I absolutely love the end result.

That turned out beautiful! I'm in the process of reupholstering a chair myself. I'm wondering, did you wash and bleach the drop cloth first? I'm your newest follower, I would love for you to visit me at my blog: A Pinch of Prim.
