My awesome $5 Habitat ReStore Chair

I found this chair at my local Habitat ReStore for $5. I painted it and re-covered it and I love it.
My chair hiding in the corner with all the other sad chairs.
I just knew with a little TLC I could give this chair new life.
When I started taking it apart, I found a tag - it said Lazy Boy!!!!
I wanted something bright and cheery. I think this fits the bill!
Putting it back together. I pulled off the vinyl but kept the original foam. I had to replace the top layer on the chair bottom since there was a hole in it.
I used decorative tacks to put the back on - ugh I know, the tacks are crooked. I mention a great blog with an amazing tutorial on how to install these tacks. Check it out.
Well, this is the finished chair. I just love it. It's so comfy too!
