1. Luxe Patchwork Chair This slipper chair is glorious with its new patchwork fabric slipcover. Mismatched buttons add to the whimsy and fun.
2. A Cinderella Story This once forlorn chair was found abandoned on the curb. You won't believe its transformation. All it took was some fabric and a little paint to achieve this beautiful result.
3. Floral Office Chair Here's another once discarded chair that was rescued and rejuvenated. If you are lucky enough to find a free chair, what have you got to lose?
4. Patchwork and Prints This chair was given a new patchwork cover composed of new and thrifted fabrics, and screenprinted designs. Now it's a great place to curl up and read!
