I wanted to show you what I made for a chair pad for this Vintage Chaise.

After
Here's How I Did It. |
|
Terry was getting new tires put on our car and he had some time to kill before they would be done. So right across the parking lot of the tire place was a Menards. As he walked around the Menards he found this great chair pad on clearance for $15. Gotta love that man he has tools and knows how to use them and can seek out a great bargain! |
|
I cut off the outer fabric to find a wonderful white chair pad underneath. |
|
I used some of the ruffle from the table cloth on this chair. Used my glue gun so I can pull this ruffle off in the future for a change up if need be. |
|
I only glued the ruffle to the end and the lower sides of this chaise. I did not want to cover up her cute scroll design or tires. |
|
I took this Ikea Duvet cover that matched my drapes and dining room chairs to make into the new pad. It was pretty easy to do. Just put it in the opening of the duvet and pulled it over the to sewn side of the duvet. This way I only had to cut and sew one straight line on the other side and at the top and bottom of the pad. |
|
So now my cute little chaise lounge matches the other dining room chairs in the room. |
|
Here she is with her ruffle and chair pad. I am glad I left the scroll design and wheels showing. |
|
So now I have my lounge chair to relax and read inside and my outdoor chaise as well. |
|
So happy to have an outside lounger and now an inside lounger. |
|
So as you can see a lot of things are being skirted in my dining room area. I am getting a lot of re love DIY's out of that ruffled table cloth. |
|
I think I am done skirting things in this dining room space. Have a great week. Enjoy all that the new week brings. Kris :) |

Brilliant transformation girl, it looks fabulous. I can't believe you found the chair pad for $15 quite the bargain. It's only hitting 70 this week and 50 at night here, I think fall is on it's way.
ReplyDeleteLove the ruffle! So much cuter now!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kris,
ReplyDeleteAren't you the clever one???? Love the new chaise lounge cover. It's perfect and looks very comfy. Great Job!!!
hugs

What a Beautiful chair, wish I could get one here, but I've never seen any like them in our stores lol.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week too.
Love Elzie
That turned out adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe lounge is beautiful. Love how you have gone wild in the dining room with skirting. We will have to start calling you The Be-Ruffler!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!! I love chaise loungers and the idea for indoors is perfect!
ReplyDeleteMorning Kris, loving the wheels and scrolls and the skirt. Think your relove looks so cute. Terry is one sweet hubby to find you the chair pad and I think your creativity rocks with redesigning a duvet into a chaise cover.
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Vera
You are so resourceful Kris-Love it!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great! I love the checked fabric and of course you know how I love me some ruffles :o)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!

ReplyDeleteI love how that turned out! You are so clever to use a duvet cover that way. Also, very clever in gluing on your ruffle directly to the chaise.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great and efficient transformation, Kris! It really looks great. Hope your week is just the same -great. :)
ReplyDeleteRita
How exciting! I love that fabric and what a wonderful idea! So very clever!! Isn't it wonderful when you get a lot of mileage out of a tablecloth and duvet cover??!!! Have a wonderful Monday!
ReplyDeleteAnd you say you can't sew! Love what you did. It's so YOU!
ReplyDeleteJudy
How clever to use the duvet cover...it's adorable!
ReplyDeleteYour duvet cover turned out so pretty, and that chaise is wonderful. Love all the ruffles.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute ideas!
ReplyDeleteKim
Your inside chaise turned out so cute, Kris! Looks so comfy too.
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
So pretty, Kris! I'm glad you left her pretty scrolls and wheels exposed. Those are worthy of showing off! :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great, Kris! I bet it makes the prospect of winter a little brighter, knowing you can still lounge inside!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kris! Wow - you never know what's going to come your way. Love that chaise, and be still my heart, using that gorgeous duvet really took it to s new level. Really like the ruffle-mania going on at your place. Have a wonderful week and happy lounging. Jane
ReplyDeleteclever clever -- nicely done.. I saw a chaise like this a bit rusty and left it pass me by but after looking at yours I could kick myself -err!
ReplyDeleteLovely colors too..
Hugs
I was struck dumb at this, and it took me a moment to recover:-)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fantastic idea:-) You are the best at doing something out of nothing!
Greetings:-)
Thanks so much. You are so sweet.
DeleteKris
Kris,
ReplyDeleteTerry did good on this one and you did outstanding on making the cushion cover. I would love for you to Show and Share it at my place.
Blessings,
Linda
That turned out great, Kris! What a great idea to buy a ready made cushion and use that for the foam. A big plus is that all that stuff is on sale now. Love how you did the ruffle - keeping that pretty scrollwork visible!
ReplyDeleteYa have-to love Ikea for fabrics. I just washed all of my bedroom, and at least three pillows in there are Ikea bedding or fabrics. Now I have to figure out how to drag my porch chaise into the house (nope, no room). Love the clean little ruffles, not too fussy, but softens the metal, just right! Grins!
ReplyDeleteThe chaise cover is just so sweet and I love how you left it ruffle free around the arms and tires! Your dining room is so very pretty! Enjoy all things simple, this week! Blessings, Cindy xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a great deal. You couldn't touch foam and batting for that price. What a good sale spotter your husband is. The chaise is adorable. I hope you enjoy a magazine and cup of tea from that spot.
ReplyDeleteI would never have thought to use the chaise lounge indoors, but it looks fabulous and comfy, too! You did a find job sewing a new cushion cover, and the ruffle adds a soft touch. Sweet!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what I'm more impressed with - that gorgeous chaise lounge - the beautiful way you covered it - or that Terry grabbed it in the first place.
ReplyDeleteWhat a team Kris !
XOX
Fabulous. Absolutely perfect that we BOTH have husbands who will do such things for us! You and I have the same (or nearly) chaise in white and you should have seen me make a make-shift skirt and cover for mine for a quick photo shoot this summer. I actually like how the photo came out since the chaise was in the background of the photo. There is nothing like this white and ruffled look, is there?
ReplyDeleteHAPPY DAY KRIS! Enjoy the beauty that surrounds you!
Love it! That cushion was a steal! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteKris, that's such a clever and creative idea!! It looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSusan
Oh dearest Kris, I just saw you came to my post. Thank you! (How I'd love to JUNK with you and squeal together over white beautiful finds!)
ReplyDeleteSo cute and clever.
ReplyDeleteLove how this turned out, Kris! And I love that your husband found the chair pad on clearance for you too. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHow clever and pretty. Looks like it will be a cozy and bright place to sit this winter. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteBeyond charming! I LOVE it! Your home is delightful and you have to have the prettiest porch (deck?) ever. And a great husband who loves you. Enjoy it all!
ReplyDeleteWow! I am amazed! I want, I want, I want. The lounge is so detailed to and I love the old wheels! Perfect. I can't sew but I can use a glue gun and I've found a staple gun is great when upholstering. You are awesome!
ReplyDeleteomg you made that chair.....wowsers!!!! You have the best ideas Kris!!!! I LOVE your little patio outside!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteI do love your home. Thank you for sharing.

Well aren't you just a smarty pants Kris! Terry reminds me so much of my Darcy. He would do the exact same thing to kill some time. He came home the other day with 6 rolls of Frog Shape Tape that he found on clearance for $1.50 a roll - I was doing the happy dance. $15.00 for a lounge chair pad - sweet deal and I love how you recovered it. Looks perfect in your house!
ReplyDeleteSuper changes and love the cushion. That's how John is. If I'm looking for something he's the man to find it. Tools and shoppper, gotta love it
ReplyDeleteCindy
Kris, oh my girl, what a gorgeous redo for your chaise lounge! You absolutely did an amazing job, it's beautiful! I am crazy about your patio too, wow it's whispers total charm! You have that magic going!
ReplyDeleteNancy
What a great project & outcome!!! You really have a great talent for reloving items!!! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteKris, what a charming and cheery redo for your vintage chaise lounge! I think checks are so cute, add to that the ruffled skirt, a little handiwork and voila - you have created yet another little haven!
ReplyDeletePoppy
I now am going to attempt to make a cushion for my entryway bench! You inspired me! Maybe I will do a little skirt on it, too!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely charming, Kris! What a wonderful place to sit and read! Just love it! There you go again making everything you touch prettier!!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week, my friend!
Hugs,
Becky
It looks wonderful! And so comfy!
ReplyDeleteKris, you are such a busy bee. Love all the ruffles in your dining room. The chaise looks beautiful and what a great place to be, in front of the window, when the rain and snow comes down. A very comfy and pretty spot..Happy Wednesday..Judy
ReplyDeleteOhh...it looks fantastic! You are always so clever and i love your style
ReplyDeleteHugs
Alessandra
Looks really pretty...your hubs found a great bargain and worked so well on your lounge. Love skirts on chairs of any kind.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, Kris! I love the checks. Now you have two beautiful lounge chairs to relax until the next home décor project comes your way :).
ReplyDeleteWished I could make a reservation and get you to Minnesota and ruffle up my whole home!
ReplyDeleteI knew it would be awesome----and it is! I love it Kris and all the beautiful things that got some new clothes too. I'm with Pendra, when can you come to Idaho?
ReplyDeletehugs from me...
Wow! Terry sure has an eye for a bargain. I love this new look, and the ruffle you glued to the edges is so clever. Thanks for sharing at Vintage Inspiration Party, Kris.
