Prince Chair Update
Remember THREE YEARS AGO when I showed you the awesome chair we found by a dumpster? Joe claimed it as his “man chair”, and then I don’t think I ever showed you any updates. That’s because I don’t think Joe will ever be finished modifying it, but it has definitely become the favorite chair in the house. So I’ll share some snapshots (mostly from my phone, sorry) of the redo process, and then end with lots of pictures of my cats. Aren’t you excited!?
He took it all apart, removed the nasty old fabric and gave everything a good cleaning. He also had to fix a broken chair arm.
Then he sanded all the wooden pieces, because he originally had planned to restain the chair.
Then all of the pieces sat in a closet for a couple of years. Then we moved to Oklahoma. Then I started sighing heavily every time Joe would drag my princess chair into the middle of the living room to play video games. So Joe got motivated to do something with the forgotten chair pieces. I gave him a color scheme to work with, and he decided to paint the frame white and recover the upholstery with a steel grey fabric.
This picture makes me laugh because I just now noticed Khloe in the background. Why is she staring at a closed window? It’s so sad.
I love how it turned out. Khloe uses it as her lion cave sometimes.
So we’re all happy to finally have matching prince and princess chairs. Which we sometimes use to play Skyrim on date night.
What’s that Khloe? You’re not 100% happy? Why?
Oh, well. Technically its the MAN chair…so he gets first dibs. Sorry, girl.

Nice chairs! Did he refinish the princess chair too?
@slmret - Thanks! Believe it or not I got the princess chair exactly as is from Goodwill for $30! Although two cats and 4 years later, Joe has talked about attempting to reupholster it too someday!
Looks great.
You have a very handy hubby! The chair looks great.
Looks really great!
Wow — wht a find! Looks like reupholstering would be quite a chore, though!
hahaha, way to throw your manliness around, Newly. You look most handsome on The Prince Chair.
Looks to me, like Khloe might be staring at the glass of pink lemonade. yum!
Good job on the chair, but don’t wear Joe out, we will have a whole new house to redo. What’s that? You and Joe are moving back to Florida? Wait? Don’t go, I promise I will give him more weekends off. I promise.
that came out amazingly beautiful! Job well done.
That’s a very nice chair!
looks to me like you are being ignored by Khloe…great chairs!!!!
he’s got skills! beautiful chairs.
@WildWomanOfTheWest - Well I guess we don’t have to worry too much about that now, do we?
