When Melody of My Passion for Decor came across this cane chair at an estate sale, it had definitely seen better days. Luckily, Melody could see past the worn upholstery to what a makeover could do for this piece.

Taylor blogs at TaylorMade. When she brought this vintage barrel chair home from a garage sale, she was excited about the chair but knew the upholstery had to go. Quotes from professionals were over $400, so Taylor gathered up her courage and decided to do it herself.

You know you’ve really achieved elite junker status when even friends of friends start passing their castoffs on to you. That’s exactly how Reeves from The Weathered Door ended up with a free solid wood banker’s chair.

Amidst a big project, Faye from MacGIRLver needed a little “instant gratification” and decided to spruce up a chair she originally had no intention of keeping. Plain. Brown. Nothing to get too excited about.

Mary Anne from Purposedly Reinvented chose this beauty for her very first reupholstering project. She found it for FREE off Craigslist and instantly saw the potential in its tiny little ad photo.
