This is a chair I bought for my granddaughter at my
local thrift store for $5.00. The chair was in good shape,
but black is not very 'girlie'.
My grandaughter picked pink fabric from my stash.
And I made slip covers for her chair.
I did have to buy a pkg. of elastic for $1.09.
It's definitly 'girlie' now. LOL
Heres a before & after photo.
