Have you ever picked up an antique, thinking it's retro-chic, but made it home and decided that's it's… well, just retro? (And maybe not in the best way?)
Take heart — you aren't alone!
Our viewer, Loren, picked up these burnt orange chairs — probably from "[around the] '50s," she says — for just $5. (Steal!) But while she loved the price, once she got home, she ultimately felt that they could use a little facelift.
HGTV star Chip Wade to the rescue! The celebrity carpenter took one look at those chairs and realized there was an easy fix: reupholstery. And it only took him a few minutes and $50 to get it done!
"When you're re-finishing chairs, you want to make sure you don't interrupt the structural integrity of the chair," says Chip.
