Should I buy this?

[hensmum]

So I went to Ikea yesterday, and as always checked out the as-is section on my way out. They had three or four of these un-upholstered chairs, with no legs, for $19/each!!!

With such a simple square-ish shape, I feel like it would be pretty easy for me to upholster with a staple gun. And I would obv bargain hunt for fabric. I could buy legs at Home Depot.

I mean, it's a project I don't really need to take on, haha! But I am wanting to get rid of the glider in Hen's room (because it's ugly and he's always banging it against the wall...), and would love to put an armchair there, but don't have the cash for it. 

So what do you think - should I go for it??

Do IT! It would only take an afternoon. I think the upholstering would be really easy, and fabric can be pretty cheap. I say do IT!

For $19, why not??



And then i'll live vicariously through your awesome project

Yeah I was gonna say, I'd totally PAY you to do two of those chairs for me. I am not crafty at all but I will admire from afar.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I don't have a crafty bone in my body.

Erat can give you tips! She covered the glider in Pumpkin's nursery, I think.

Okay, I'm gonna do it!!! Will keep you all informed, of course
