I made a bet with a friend that you can turn anything into a “work of art.” 😉

One day, he brought me this old red chair — with cracked upholstery, scratched plastic legs, and an overall look of “I survived the ’90s and I’m tired.” 🧐

🤦Honestly, at that moment, I regretted my bet — I had absolutely no inspiration. 😵‍💫The only thought running through my head was: “Well, I’m stuck…” 👇

But what’s said is said, so I got to work. And now, the final result is ready. 😮 Check out the “before” and “after” photos in the first comment and let me know — did I win the bet or not? 👇

I decided to pass this test. First, I completely dismantled the chair: removed the old upholstery, took out the worn-out foam, and replaced the plastic legs with wooden ones to give it a warmer and more refined look.

I spent a long time choosing the fabric — I wanted to move away from the flashy red and make something lighter and more stylish.

In the end, I chose a soft upholstery in a light shade, which refreshed the whole look of the chair. I also slightly altered the shape of the backrest and seat to make it more comfortable and modern.

And here it is — the final result. I didn’t expect it to turn out so well: from a gloomy old chair, it turned into a stylish piece of furniture that I wouldn’t be ashamed to place in a living room or a trendy lounge.
