Layers and hundreds of staples

I bought this chair at GoodWill for $3. Yes I said $3. It was in pretty much perfect condition. I didn't love the green and I really didn't have a place to put it but it was so neat I had to get it.




So I brought it home and it just sat for awhile. I finally got to JoAnne's and headed straight for the fabric clearance bin to find the perfect fabric. I had about 6 different ones picked out and couldn't decide so I brought 3 of them home.

After I removed the seat from the chair to begin uncovering it so I could recover it, I found this!



HUNDREDS of staples. UGGGGH really, do you need that many staples. Just as I thought I was done.....




Two more layers and hundreds of more staples. Who recovers a chair 3 times without taking the layers of first! It was frustrating to say the least, but then it transformed to this



And I love it. It looks fantastic in our guest bedroom!

  3. That is awesome! What an awesome deal! Maybe everyone else saw all of the staples... and that was why it was so cheap?! Either way, that is such a great job!
