Vintage DIY Reupholstered Chair
From the blogger: "My daughter got a desk from Santa this past holiday. But the big guy didn't bring her a chair for said desk. Resourceful as this seven year old is, she set up a doll case to substitute as a chair. After watching her teeter on this unconventional seat, an impromptu stop at an antique market found us bringing home a vintage vanity stool. In need of a modern redo, this cute little seat would make for the perfect chair for a child's desk."

I love the bright colors on this project. I would never think to mix coral with baby blue, but I'm obsessed with how it looks. Although this chair doesn't look too comfy to sit it, I would definitely make it for decoration!
