Lofty Ideas: Funky Chair Makeover

Almost six months back I tweeted a picture of a chair I found at a thrift store.  With a little creative thinking and some (gifted from a friend) high-end fabric, I was able to create what is now my favorite chair.  The truth about this chair makeover is that it’s very rock-n-roll and in fact a little ugly – but thats why I love it.  In design you always want that one piece that makes a statement. Take a look…
