    Glam DIY Office Chair Makeover

    Hey friends! I'm back with another fun DIY project from Kayla's pretty in pink bedroom makeover!  

    This glam vintage office chair makeover was an easy project. Using gold spray paint and faux fur!

    ACRYLIC CHAIRS

    FAUX FUR DESK CHAIRS

    I told you all about this amazing chair with its curvy shape and all that lucite goodness back in week 2 of Kayla's bedroom makeover.

    The black leather seat and silver base were a bit too masculine for Kayla's room.

    That's where this easy makeover comes in.

    The first step was taking the chair apart.

    Magnolia the cat was supervising this project.

    Painting the legs was next on the list.

    Since the legs were slightly discolored. I sprayed them with two even thin coats of  Rustoleum primer made especially for metal.

    To protect the wheels I covered them with painter's tape.

    A little paint still got on them, but it wasn't a big deal.

    Once the primer was completely dry.

    I sprayed three even thin coats of Rustoleum bright gold spray paint to really give this office chair makeover the glam factor!

    While the legs dried I tackled the seat.

    I planned on covering the seat with a small faux sheepskin rug.

    I've never worked with faux fur before you guys so I was a little nervous about this part.

    The seat isn't very large so I planned to use an IKEA TEJN faux sheepskin rug I already owned. But they've definitely seen better days.

    I was lucky and found a very nice faux sheepskin rug for less than $20 at HomeGoods.

    It was definitely going to give me the soft luxurious look I was after for the seat.

    Once I had my "fabric" I cut it to size and stapled it directly over the existing cover since it was so thin.

    Plus truth be told ain't nobody got time to be removing all those dang staples LOL.

    This is what the seat looked like when I was all done stapling.

    Magnolia our cat was very jealous of our new pet seat 😂.

    With the leftover faux fur, you can apparently make all sorts of nifty things.

    All that was left to do was put the chair back together.

      The chair was definitely one of my favorites from your daughter's room makeover . You did such a great job. It was such a good idea to use fur. It definitely went from masculine to glamourous . I'm sure your daughter loves it!

        It's one of my favorites in the room also Vin! The faux fur was definitely inspired by a chair that I saw on Pottery Barn. Thanks for stopping by sweetie! ?

        The Lucite back definitely wowed me the minute I saw the chair! I've not really seen one like that either. Thank you Carol for stopping by and taking the time to comment!

        Thank you Keri! The shape is really what I loved about the chair from the moment I saw it! Kayla is a hoot! I looked up and she was holding the fur to her face and I'm so glad I was able to quickly snap a picture ?.
