The best part about this project was that it didn't cost me a dime. I would have loved to bind it with a contrasting color but I was trying really hard to just use what I had on hand already. I found the chair at our ward's FreeCycle event. My husband and a few of the other men couldn't believe I was taking this chair home. But I accepted their challenge.
Thank you Ashley from Make It and Love It for this tutorial!!!!
So after creating the chair I dug out a quilt top that I had made for Julia. I found some batting and backed the quilt with white flannel. Now she has a cozy blanket to snuggle with while reading.
I am now happy with her bedding ensemble. Now I just need to fix the curtains and create a valance.

I love that chair so much and it matches her curtains! :-) You are so clever...I could just see you luggin' that thing home from the rummage sale! WAY TO GO!
Ha! That thing was as nasty as mine was. And I think the lady at the thrift store thought I was crazy too!! Atta girl.....way to have a vision! And I love that you painted it. Looks tons better all painted. Okay, and her whole bedroom set is beautiful. Good for you! Anyway, thanks for the link!
