Before...

First I took all of the fabric off and set it aside. I primed and painted with Krylons 18kt gold spray paint. I then painted the whole chair with Minwax Jocobean and let sit for about 10 minutes, just until it started to get a little tacky. I wiped it off with a clean, dry rag.

Next, I cut out the new fabric and attached it with my staple gun. For the back, I used Curve Ease at the top and staples down the sides and bottom. I covered the staples with a double welt cord.
