Are you ready for another Garbage to Gorgeous ®?  Today I am giving a rocking chair, that my sister garbage picked, a makeover.  It’s going to be more of a manly makeover, from rocking chair to Whiskey Sippin’ Chair!  Think gift for Dad or husband, man cave decor, etc.

You will need:
–  An old chair, the one I had happened to be a rocking chair.
–  Stripper:  http://amzn.to/29tEAnZ
–  Black/ebony stain with poly:  http://amzn.to/29zWveq (this is not the one I used, but appears to be similar)
–  Whiskey fabric – Do a google search.  I also saw wine fabric and tequila fabric.  Pick whatever suits your tastes!  
–  Quilt batting:  http://amzn.to/29tFxN9
–  Foam padding (go to fabric store, so you can see it and feel it)
–  Staple gun & staples:  http://amzn.to/29zXDin
–  Scraper:  http://amzn.to/29whdK4
–  Paint brushes:  http://amzn.to/29whtZv
–  Odorless mineral spirits:  http://amzn.to/29z19gI
–  Sandpaper  
–  If you have to staple the cushion from the top, be sure to pick up some coordinating trim to cover the staples.
–  Glue:  http://amzn.to/29DWckq


Here is the video tutorial:




Directions:
1.  Strip the chair.  Use the stripper and scrape it all off.  This will take time, will possibly be a little frustrating, but totally worth it!
2.  Once stripped, wipe it down with odorless mineral spirits to remove any excess stripper.
3.  Do a light sand and wipe it down.
4.  Stain the wood whatever color you like.  I chose an ebony  because I wanted a deep, rich color.
5.  Remove the existing cushion.  Replace with new padding, batting and fabric.
6.  Staple it into place.
7.  If necessary, cover the staples with trim.  I used a combination of hot glue and Ultimate glue.

That’s it!  Enjoy your new chair!  Have a drink on me!

Thanks for stopping by!  

Life’s too short not to shimmer, so grab your glue gun and your glitter!™  Stay safe!
