- Just finished my latest thrifty makeover and this is the full video. My empty sitting room is becoming a little less empty. 🤓 Total project (including chairs) cost a whopping $38.67. Less than $20 per chair! 🤗 Save yo money folks and start thrifting! ❤ #frugalmonster #frugalorious #thrifting #thriftymakeover #furniture #diy #valuevillage #savers
I really appreciate everyone that took the time to watch my video. I am by no means a professional at upholstery. I actually work full time in the financial industry 😊 but I love learning new things and working on DIY projects. Being a new homeowner I simply do this for fun and to also use this as an inexpensive way to furnish my home. I appreciate all of the positive and helpful comments!
If you like more of these videos please help me by liking and subscribing. I am a thrift newb and new to refurbishing furniture. I bought a house last year and 65% of it is still empty. My goal is to furnish the rest of the house with thrifted furniture that's not haunted. 👻Lol

You can visit thrift and goodwill stores for curtains and drapes , sometimes you can get really good quality which can be used for upholstery and throw pillows
Adventurous Ones I never thought of using Drapes as fabric for upholstery, great Idea thx.
@@felicidadafterdark9304 💖
I have done that several times. Yes very good idea.
If scarlet ohara can use drapes to make a dress it makes sense that you can use drapes for chairs.🤣
I am always scavenging GW, I never thought to look at curtains!!! Great idea
I love how you made these your "own"....some people don't like the fact that the wood is painted. To each her own. It's in your home, you do as you please. Good job and I personally love them!
Love how updated the chairs look now. Great upholstery choice. It looks terrific!
Amazing job! You can’t tell it’s your first time doing this, so don’t be so hard on yourself! You turned those chairs into classic pieces of furniture! Rock on!!
I love picking up chairs at garage sales and thrift stores. So much fun changing the look. You did a terrific job. I just love them.
Nice job! I used a drop cloth to reupholster my dining room chairs. Chalk painted them white, as well. A couple of suggestions: Please wear gloves whenever you clean upholstery or wood. You never know what ended up on those chairs! Also, invest in a trigger that works with spray paint cans. Saves your finger from cramping up. Should be located near the spray paint.
I love that now they look up-to-date!! The quality of the wood is the same just the color changed!!
When I reupholstered my dining room chairs, my husband helped me pull the material taut and stapled it.
+Frances Walker An extra pair of hands would've been helpful for me too! 😉
Great job! Love what you did with the "grandma queen Anne" chairs. They look super!
Wow gracias por la idea!
I got some chairs and I want to try that thank you
Farmhouse Paint is the absolute best. No prep work. Just want your piece to be Clean! Dries super Quickly so you can start 2nd & 3rd coats. Super hard surface for long lasting durability! Nothing like it
Good job! I like thrift store shopping too and spray painting projects.
WOW!! YEA!! I finally found true happiness and inspiration here with these DIY videos to take flight on projects I've abandoned long ago. My confidence level has no catapulted extremely high. Yea!! 😊✌💞
Thank you for demonsrating the Martha Stewart detail
paint. I was thinking of
doing the same on some
furniture that I have, so
now I will since I like how
your chairs came out !
Very nice! 😊 NanaAnn
You did a good job! Now you gave me the confidence to do mine! LOL! I thought you had to sand down the chair before spray painting it, but now that I know different, I’ll just spray paint mine as well. Thank you for sharing🙏🏽
Stapling with a manual stapler IS tough on the hands. Go to Home Depot or Lowes or a place that rents tools and RENT an electric stapler. Easier on the hands and you have better control of how the fabric is placed. However, you did a fabulous job. And, another trick. After you paint the chair (or any furniture with wood), get some Simonize or Butchers Wax and wax over the paint. It will stay cleaner longer and no paint will come off. Again, super-duper job even for a beginner!
Those chairs were steal for $6 each! And the wood was beautiful but to each his own and they're beautiful
I have chairs with the same shape I'm so happy I found this video with such a detailed explanation of how to reupholster them!! THANK YOU!!
I agree, I have the same situation. Just bought a dining set that I want to reupholster and paint, so this video is perfect as a guide to help me take the leap and go for it!!!
THE chairs stayed beautiful!!! 😍
I bought 4 chairs doing mine the same shappy chic shes good well explained x
Very nice love it I'm going to do my kitchen chair this spring.
+Blanca Almonte Thank You! Please tag me on Instagram @leanns_adventure I would love to see it!
If you want to take the staples out use a flat head slim screwdriver and run it around the edge and rip the staplers out.
You did a really good job reupholstering for the first time. Thanks for detailed instructions.
Girl you did a "Great Job"! The more you do it - you'll know how to get to it! Love the way you brought out the details on the chairs! Peace and Blessings to You!!
Is her 🏡. So, she can do whatever she likes. I do in my 🏡 whatever I like too! My home, my style. 👋💖👍 THANK GOD. 🙏💖🙏
Wow you know what you doing!! The chairs are beautiful good job 👍😍
yeah same me make before long time ago great job
They look amazing! Thank you for sharing !
For the cushions of the chair I used to reupholster furniture you can use a regular cotton material and usually only takes a half of yard for a cushion
+Vanessa Darnell That's a great idea!
Leann's Adventures you can call around to some fabric stores and will have remanence and sometimes you can pick him up for a dollar $2 $3 half yards you can try try looking around and doing it that away if you do a lot of DIYs with Furniture you might want to try that sometimes Joanne Ethan has remanence they don't even tell youSo ask them about the ruminant boxes on their upholstery Fabrics or their cotton materials cuz a lot of cotton is used on like seat cushions and stuff
@@vanessadarnell1859 Yes, But it certainly wouldn't be as durable for projects that are for everyday use.
Should have used a sealant babe so your paint doesn't fade or get scratch marks. I always use modge podge sealant, works like a charm! Great job for a first time!
Modpodge to seal furniture??? That's like using diamond dust in place of baby powder - way overpriced and not the best product for the job. ;) Try using "wax finish polyvine" (I prefer dead flat or satin but choose whatever sheen you like best) next time (and leave the MP for the small craft projects)...it will change your world. 😁
Beautiful chair makeover! Love the *Shabby Chic* look.
Great job, love the way it turn out
The chairs turned out beautiful! Now I know how to complete my chairs. Thank you for sharing!

Those are VERY well made chairs with the webbing underneath! It is rare to find that. I agree with the statements below. I would have removed the old fabric even though it takes time, it is worth it. Also wear gloves to protect your hands and nails from the alcohol and paint The device that attaches to the spray can is a life saver. Removing the staples with a flat head screwdriver is perfectly fine. An electric stapler is another life saver and well worth the money!!!
@@r.rodriguez4991 MOST women try to take care of their nails!! Alcohol makes artificial nails pitted besides drying your hands!!!
I love you, Leann. You don't do a lot of minutiae or use a lot of expensive tools. I get so intimidated by other DIY channels. After watching you I am more inspired to start a small project.
Wow such an amazing job! Im feeling inspired now
You did great upload... honest, truthful & showed discount ways to save $$$... very shabby chic! 😚
.
A staple remover tool helps, too.
Great job.. yes. Reupholstery is hard work.. I've even done couches in my younger days..too much trouble for me now.. if you do this again I'd recommend also a proper staple remover..will be so much easier and they're inexpensive
wow so much negatives from ...the experts! keep it up you're doing great....thanks for the video
Sometimes constructive criticism is helpful not just for the youtuber but for viewers as well.
Never keep the old padding found on furniture.
People aren’t always as clean as you may be.
Think; bedbugs. Yuk.
I would've just cut the top fabric on the chairs off...
And odors, like cigarette smoke.
I got a stool with storage under the cushion at a thrift store the material was nasty but you would not believe how nasty the foam was underneath. Joannes sells very nice firm cushion foam as well. I covered mine with fake leather as I put it in my bathroom at the vanity so I needed to be able to clean it easily. also kept the wood look just stripped it varnished & lacquered it
Great advice.
I would have only changed the cushions... and kept the beautiful wood original...
Larry Jackson my thoughts exactly the wood was so pretty
I agree. That wood finish was in awesome shape. She lost me as soon as i saw her painting them. $6.99 wow! That is so cheap!
Painting the wood, cheapens it
Why does anyone paint wood??
I tried to find old wood chairs like that and could only find them at antique stores at over $200 each in shitty condition.
Loved the white and fabric. So pretty. Love the shabby chic style! Crisp and clean looking! Beautiful!
You did a great job.
Always buy new foam, padding along with your fabrics
Thank you so much! I did that with my vanity chair and it came out lumpy. :( I definitely need more practice. :)
Practice makes perfect... you did well thanks for sharing ;)
Love this! You did a great job and with a bit of silver you painted to accent and highlight details of the chair is stunning!
+Regirl75 Thank You! I really appreciate it! 😄😄😄
I know I have wanted to do a chair like this forever and those silver highlights are fantastic.
Very very nice!!! Thank you for sharing. I can not wait to do my chairs now.
+Carolyn Carlisle Thank you so much! If you have Instagram, please post the before and after and tag me @leanns_adventure I would love to see it! ☺
Good job, the chairs look amazing.
I love the paint choice and love the fact that you are learning! I personally might have chosen a fabric with a little something more just to really set off the beautiful vintage woodwork but they are great just the way you did it! Just found your channel and am getting lots of great ideas for my new channel!
Looks good, like the way they turned up and so economical.
+Lizzy R Thank you so much! Economical is my favorite word. Hehe
Love them!!!!
I think you did great. You can never go wrong with neutral colors. So for about $25 or so you have two, one of a kind chairs. Great job.
+Survivormj Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. ❤
What a lucky deal, you've got!!
Great job 👍👍👏👏i also love diy like yours 😄
+angela's happiness Thank you!
Beautiful! Great job.
You did a great job with the painting and chair covering you go!!!!!!!
FABULOUS!!! Chairs look great!!
These chairs turned out so awesome! Great job!
For the 1 st timer ,great and even i'm not big fan of painted wood ,you did a great job.
Thank you!
It is dangerous to use a screwdriver to remove upholstery staples. Screwdrivers are made to use with screws.
Google, "Berry's Staple Puller". It's the best upholstery tool you will ever own. Other staple pullers will pop up with the search.
Don't even look at them. The Berry's Staple Puller is the best. There are some RUclips videos you can watch.
Barbara Menard god, if you are not in sales, you are wasting your life away. I dont - and wont - have any use for any sort of staple puller (unsure why i’m watching this video 😳 ), but i am going to google it and even probably get one - it sounds too good not to! :))
I still agree with Barbara. The staple remover would be much easier to remove the Staples. Save time and you lose a finger. Screwdrivers are made for screws.
@@eugeniab2990 I am Lol, because I am so tempted myself!
Very thorough i love it thanku so much
you did a GREAT Job!!
Great buy!! Nice job! Thanks!
Great job for your first time trying recovering a chair.
+Shirley Pryor Thank you so much! I'm happy I didn't sure it up. Hehe
Your chairs turned out beautiful!
I want to learn how to do that!
I bought some fabric today from a bargain store for a Christmas apron I’m making, along with table mats and a table runner. Some fabric can be very pricey! Another great video! Xxx
+Captain Dingbat Oiuuu! You better make a video or at least show me on I Instagram! ^_^ I was really surprised at the prices of the upholstery fabric, but thank God for the clearance section. Thanks again for watching, I appreciate you! ❤
Leann's Adventures I’ll try a video, I have a go-pro camera that I don’t use to its best ability but I could also use my phone! There will be something at least! Look forward to your next video! 😘
Now, that's an idea. I haven't pulled diut my sewing machine in a while.
Wow what were the odds of this one I just purchased the whole table set of the same chairs table and 6 chairs I was looking for ideas on how to replace the cushions and fabric and I found this video I can’t wait to start on my project 🤗
Gorgeous 👍🏻👏🏻
Absolutely gorgeous
+Damaris Melo Thank you!
Those chairs look awesome. Good find!
+Lynn Pena Thank you so much! 😊😊😊
they are gorgous!
You did a great job! Corners can be tricky. I just redid a round barstool. It took A LOT of staples, my electric staple gun paid off!
You did a brilliant job they,look lovely.
Thank you so much Margaret! 😄😄😄
They turned out wonderful, great job
+Angelina Valdovinos Thank you so much!
I loved your video, thanks for sharing. I don’t like natural wood, I would have painted them too. I like the modern look. I found a nice wooden chair at the Goodwill and I sprayed it a metallic pink. I love it. So keep doing you, don’t let these overly and rudely opinionated people change you.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment. ♡
You’re welcome.
I really enjoyed your video. You did a great job. Thank you for the cool tips.

+Solena Allen Thank you! 😊
I love this DIY!
+Thrifty Girl Cafe Thank you!
great job girl !
Nice job. I wonder if you could have used some sort of protective barrier between the old fabric and the new fabric.
Yvette Williams I must remember this Suggestion, Thx.
