Amateur Upholstering!

I inherited this chair from my mum (it was my aunties - who is no longer here with us). Gone are my country days of big floral in pinks and greens with dark wood. I'm attempting to freshen things up and use mostly what I already have. So this is my first attempt at covering a chair - dont look too close!! And after two years I have finally painted the timber white.... Another addition for my upcoming new look bedroom
