Re-Upholstering a FB Marketplace Chair for my Living Room/Entryway Makeover| Part 2

Hey guys this week I continue with my living room and entryway makeover. This project made it onto the list when I decided to switch around a leather chair and this chair I got for my studio. This is an old Weinman chair that I got from Facebook marketplace for $20. Most Weiman chairs are listed for thousands online so I was surprised to get it for only $20. The upholstery was in bad shape so I knew it was going to need to be re-upholstered. With the help of my subscribers we picked out the perfect fabric to update this chair. I love the knew warm windowpane fabric and how this totally transformed this old chair.

I just learned something from you! NEVER shall I attempt to upholster anything more complicated than a dining chair seat.

[@MaileyElaine]

Haha there are lots of piece that are definitely not this hard! 😂

[@thedantzler6554]

Gal you nailed it in my humble opinion. GREAT job!!!

[@MaileyElaine]

Oh thank you so much! So glad you like it! 🥰

[@barbaraehrensberger8186]

Looking so good. Don’t be so hard on yourself. To me it looks pretty perfect 👍I must say, I like the seat cushion right side up better, but the trimming in this dark fabric is gorgeous 👏

[@MaileyElaine]

Oh thank you so much! And thanks so much for the input. So glad you love the trim. Thanks for watching!

[@yogadebra]

Oh thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰

[@ghoulgoil5029]

Score on the chair! You did an amazing job! It looks beautiful! Cat approved lol!

[@MaileyElaine]

Very much cat approved! All of them fight over sleeping on it haha. Thank so much and thanks for watching!

[@kathyhoward9182]

Beautiful! It even looks more “stately” in the dark color. Great job!

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank you so much!!

[@cyndij8312]

Love the style of the chair. It looks good in the new fabric, too.

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank you! I’ve been gone for two weeks and just got home the chair is still intacted haha

[@chrisparent1954]

That chair looks SO good! And I LOVE the seat cushion upside-down. It's so unexpected and adds a little extra pizzazz!

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank you so much! I think so too I love the connection with the trim it has. I really like the cushion both ways maybe I'll just flip it back and forth between the two haha

[@crystalkirkland781]

I love the chair upholstery and the darker piping is perfection!

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@lucybradshaw6154]

Right side up - the chair looks fantastic! Great job!

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@beachysands4036]

I love that fabric so much. Very ambitious for a barrel chair but wow it looks so nice. I actually like the seat flipped both ways. 😊

[@MaileyElaine]

I also like it flipped both ways! and thank you so much so glad you like it!

[@shellylemons]

I like the cushion upside down. You did an excellent job.

You did a fabulous job on this chair, it looks amazing! So enjoy watching you and love your sense of humor. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.❤

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank you so much! That means so much that you like my content thanks so much for watching!

[@lolbyliz]

You do a really great job! Just an idea: what if you painted the wood on the chair a rich chocolate brown. The current color is reading very yellow and kind of clashes with that gorgeous fabric you chose.

[@MaileyElaine]

I totally had the same idea. I really think a dark stain would fit the fabric. I just have to figure out away to strip the current stain without damaging the carved design. I wouldn't want to paint since it is really wood. Thank so much for watching! 🥰

[@gurkov4e]

Super pretty! I got two vintage chairs I want to reupholster but I am so scared. Also, I have no tools at all. I feel like this chair will look so good with a dark wood

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank you so much! You could totally do it whatever style of chair they are, there are tons of straight tutorials on KZbin to help you out. And I agree I'm just not sure how to make it dark without ruining the details.

[@sharons8690]

nice jeans!

[@MaileyElaine]

thank you! look familiar? haha

[@annaryan4803]

Cat fur will show up better on the solid brown that the plaid.

[@MaileyElaine]

So true especially my white floof! Well that sold right side up for me

[@badgerdog9898]

Wow, that came out really good! I'm super impressed with how you were able to get all the lines to flow properly. Since you now know that is a high end piece of furniture, do you reattach the brand name tags? Also I am curious to know if those charcuterie boards and cutting boards in your sewing room are pieces you made yourself? Thank you for your awesome content, you are a woman of many talents! 😎😊

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank you so much that was the hardest part about getting each panel attached. The lines would instantly start to go in all different directions is was very frustrating haha. I actually did say the tag and reattached it with some fabric glue. I don't think you have to but I just wanted to since it is a nice brand. and no all of those were store bought I collected them slowly over a few months from different stores. None of the are expensive boards. Ikea, Target, Homegoods places like that. and than you so much I'm so glad you like my content that means a lot! 🥰

[@karencampbell9770]

I think it looks fabulous. You can upholster for me anytime!

[@MaileyElaine]

You got it!!! haha

[@MelMc188]

I think you did a really great job, it looks so good. It’s a complicated pattern to work with. Do you think you will change the stain of the wooden parts of the chair or keep it as is?

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank you so much! I would like to change the stain just a bit darker but I have to figure out how to do that without damaging the details and also without ruining the upholstery or getting stuff on it.

[@MelMc188]

@@MaileyElaine I was thinking it would look even better with a darker stain, but the lighter stain is nice too. Mixing wood can be really cool in a room, so staying light works too.

[@gizemkol2199]

right side up

[@MaileyElaine]

👍🏼☺️

[@keyronaughtry]

I have one project in mind. I just don't know how much fabric to get.

[@MaileyElaine]

Do you know the style of furniture? You can look it up on google how many yards you would need that's usually what I do. Hope this helps!
