DIY : The Caffeinated Chair

June 27, 2012 By Danielle Hatfield 2 Comments

Share

I love rescuing wayward chairs and giving them a second life.

This particular chair was a wonderful Goodwill find that was only $7.00. Not only did it fit into my DIY blogging budget, but (aside from the seat being a horrendous pink fabric) the frame was in perfect condition. Cutting down on the time investment.

When it comes to finding new ways to reuse coffee bean bags, there is inspiration in every chair, footstool, pillow.

Start to finish:

Approximately 30 minutes.

 

You will need :

burlap coffee bean bag (The one I used came from local roaster Krankies)

staple gun

flat head screw driver

needle nose pliers

scissors

chair

 

What you will do :

  • cut the seam sides of the coffee bag off
  • center the seat on the image or text on your coffee bean bag and cut off excess burlap
  • flip seat over face down (make sure you do this carefully so your image remains centered)
  • use staple gun the set 4 anchor points in the center of each side of the chair seat
  • working carefully, pull burlap taut and staple all around except corners
  • hold corner fabric taut to create even creases and staple
  • cut excess fabric (not to close to the burlap!)
  • polish your chair and replace seat securely
  • sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee

Note: You can sew a backing on the burlap (an old sheet will do) to keep it from fraying. I chose not to and placed my staples closer together.

My next #FurnitureRestoration project! 😍 This My next #FurnitureRestoration project! 😍

This gorgeous carved #RockingChair is in need of some serious TLC. 

Someone had the brilliant idea of using screws instead of replacing the dowel on the arm. That decision led to many problems including a decorative piece on the broken arm that snapped. 

I’m so fortunate that this beautifully carved chair made its way into my life. (I think it’s walnut wood)

It’s been a few years since I’ve restored anything and I miss the peaceful ritual of bringing a once broken piece back to life. 

I often wonder about the people who made furniture like this and who it was made for. 

I imagine this rocking chair near a window on a sunny day - the perfect spot to knit, sew, or read a book. ❤️

@thebrandonpierce thoughtfully shared this beauty with me today. 😍 

Our small #CottageGarden is slowly waking up from its winter slumber and I can’t wait to see all of the blooms this year. 

I’m *really* excited about our plans to update some of our flower beds 
with a mix of flowers, herbs,  grasses, and vegetables.
