Revamped Chair

I found this chair in an awful state and managed to buy it for £3.00! It was filthy dirty and a dark brown colour with a green Pvc covered piece of card for a seat!
First I removed the seat then I scrubbed it with hot soapy water, sanded it, scrubbed again.
Next I gave it two coats of undercoat then I finished it with two coats of a milk white cupboard paint that I had.
I found some foam and covered a piece of hardboard then used some Cath Kidston oilcloth I had left over from my tablecloth and stapled that on.
I finished it by using the screws that were already on the chair to keep the seat down. I took me a day and cost me just £3.00 as I already had everything else from my last chair project! I just wish I had some before pics! x
