Renovated Vintage Hamilton Cosco Inc. Metal Folding Chair
UPDATE: I am still working on this chair...our weather has been nasty to say the least and my health was not up to par. Now that it is nicer out I am hoping to get this done within the next month! :)
FOR THE CHALLENGE: I was asked to help my friend clean a home she recently purchased. I immediately spied this chair. It was sitting in a pile designated "junk" in the garage. I just didn't have the heart to let this beauty go to the dump. My friend gave me the chair for free. I found out that this gem was made around the 1950's by Hamilton Cosco Inc. This is the first time I have ever tried reupholstering a piece of furniture! The pictures below will show the process of it's transformation! :)
