I'm going to learn to reupholster someday. I can't help but wish I already knew how when I come across cheap finds on Craigslist that could use a bit of...well...help.
This first chair looks very similar to some dining room chairs I got a while back. I love the lines on it. I doubt I'd change it much, except it look like the vinyl might be torn on the edge of the seat. They are asking $10 for it.
I really like the shape of the back of this chair. I think it would look great in a neutral fabric or vinyl. I'd take the skirt off the bottom of it and clean up the lines a bit, but I can see the potential. Especially for $20.
Gotta love burnt orange, but again the lines are there. I'd take the skirt off and get new foam for the cushion. This puppy is only $10.
Lastly this one definitely needs a bit of love. The skirt needs to come off and the old fabric ripped off, but can't you see it with a nice new fabric on it? Again only $10.
How I wish we had some workspace for me to tinker on something like that. For $50 plus fabric I could have potentially three livingroom chairs and a dining chair. For the price I could afford to try, right? The best part is that they are all at the same dealer's shop in Brazil, Indiana. Sigh, let's just hope in a couple years steals like this will still be out there.
