Chair Makeover with Beadboard Wallpaper

Way back in June, I purchased this chair at the thrift store for $2.50(1/2 off sale).  It sat in my garage until recently, because I was really unsure what to do with it.  I knew I would paint it and change out the fabric on the seat, but I wanted to do something of interest to the back rest.

To freshen up the chair, I started by removing the seat from the chair frame.  It was held in place with 4 screws, which were easy to remove.

Removing all of the nails and staples that were there to hold the fabric in place, not so easy!  While I was in the garage removing all those staples and nails, I noticed a leftover roll of beadboard wallpaper that I used in my kitchen and bathroom.  I decided it would be perfect to cover the backrest of the chair with.

I decided to put the chair in my daughter's room, for extra seating when her friends come over.

I painted the chair with leftover paint and the houndstooth fabric was purchased at Hobby Lobby.

As much as I'd love to think that my daughter is just going to use the chair for extra seating, I'm quite certain it will be used for anything but!
