So here is my original glider that my mom bought us when we had our first baby, almost 6 years ago. It used to be plain tan, but I already put a slipcover on it and redid the arm rests a few months ago. It was not getting any use, so I decided to put it in our formal living room/office. However, it didn't look too great in the room! I really can not afford to go buy a new chair, so I got creative! Actually I googled it and I ran across an awesome blog here, where a lady had already done this and I copied her idea, LOL!
The before.
Bare bones.
So here is where I get very creative and use what I already have. Instead of getting the proper board as the original blog mentioned, I used a cardboard box for the back and an old Remax sign for the arms. I know this is sooo crazy, but it really doesn't get used a lot, it really just has to look good, haha!
Here it is... the finished product! I know it's not perfect, but neither am I! I couldn't find all the thread from my sewing machine (kids probably hid it somewhere), so I hot glued the entire slipcover together inside out. The slipcover by the way is two twin flat sheets. Obviously I will have to really sew this one day, but for now, it's just what I wanted!
