For our little homework station project, I wanted to find a really inexpensive option for the girls’ desk chair. I bought the vintage wood desk at a store called Another Man’s Junk here in Phoenix and I love it’s simple lines, but I wanted the chair to feel a little more fun and youthful. I poked around online trying to find a cheap upholstered office chair to recover in a pretty fabric when I stumbled on these $20 chairs at IKEA. I thought they would be a good candidate for a decoupage project (this one has really stuck in my brain!).

i've been using the same chair at my desk for over 7 years now. it's ikea's skruvsta chair and it's been through a lot with me. from north carolina to colorado to california and back to north carolina. it's been the place where i sit to work every day through thick and thin. it's so comfortable and let's me easily sit with my legs crossed (which is a must!). after all the travel, day to day sitting, coffee drinking and the addition of two littles, you can imagine how it was beginning to look. i found myself throwing a quilt over it when guests came over just so they wouldn't notice the grime. though i was afraid of ruining my favorite chair for good, maxie makes (my mom!) came over last weekend and assured me we could recover it. so i grabbed the bolt of my new canvas 'thrive' from art gallery fabrics and began cutting away. you can see the before and after below! i quickly did some googling and found that a few other people had successfully recovered their skruvsta's as well.
we loosely followed the same thing everyone else seemed to do: loosen the bolts and remove the top of the chair from the base. begin removing all of the staples (there are SO many staples!). carefully remove the cover and cut accurately along each seam. you'll use these pieces as your pattern (be sure to LABEL them so you know how they go back together!). *also, it's helpful to make numbered notches across each seam and match those notches back together when you assemble the pieces. lay your 'pattern pieces' out on the canvas and cut out each piece, adding back in a seam allowance. begin sewing the pieces back together. top stitch along the seams for reinforcement. make a cover for the seat cushion (i chose to do a simple envelope case for easy removal later on). begin fitting the new cover back on the frame. pull tightly and begin to staple the cover back in the same places you removed the staples from. staple, staple, staple, staple. attach the chair top back on the frame and you're done!
the whole project took the two of us about 4 hours from start to finish. and i love the result so much! *a note on canvas: i can't say enough wonderful things about art gallery fabric's canvas. it's the softest, most vibrant and easy to work with canvas i've ever worked with. it makes me feel like i'm sitting wrapped up on a soft blanket all day!

Squeaky chairs can be a nuisance to both the person sitting and others in the room. Fortunately, those annoying noises do not mean it is time for a new chair.
When a squeaky chair is properly diagnosed, it can be quite simple to fix the problem. Check the nuts, bolts, and screws.Apply a lubricating oil on all of the nuts, screws and bolts to help loosen the joints. Simply spray oil directly on the the chair mechanisms, and pat them dry. You can also spray oil on a soft cotton cloth, and rub the oil onto your problem areas to have more control over where the oil goes. Moisture in the air and air conditioners cause rust. Regularly applying oil prevents rust from occurring and building up. Remove the bolts and screws completely before adding any lubricant. Have a friend sit in the chair as you apply oil. Fix the springs in the back of the chair. A chair may only squeak when you lean back, which is usually caused by too much tension where the spring's ends rub on the housing ends. To fix this, apply oil to the seat tension spring located inside the turn-knob housing. Simply loosen the seat tension turn-knob and remove the turn-knob to spray oil inside the housing.
Roll the chair back and forth to check out the wheels. Inspect the wooden chair for loose legs, screw, or nails. Check how loose the chair legs are, as well as the back of the chair, by pushing and pulling them back and forth to see how much movement they have. There should be virtually no movement. Position the chair you are working on upside down. You can either flip the chair upside down on a table or on another chair so that you can more easily access the problem area. This will also prevent any unwanted pressure on the legs or back of the chair when you are working. Apply glue to loose joints. There are many types of strong wood glue products you can purchase to stabilize loose leg joints. When you locate a loose joint, push wood glue into the joint and let it dry completely before flipping the chair back over. Wipe away any access glue that comes out of the joint with a wet rag. To create a thicker wood glue consistency, try adding wood filler to the glue. A thicker mixture can better help stabilize wobbly chair legs.
Expand the dowels with wood-swelling liquids. For very loose legs that seem to need more than glue, remove the chair leg completely, and use a wood-swelling liquid. Sometimes, dowels can shrink, causing chair parts to become loose. When you apply a wood-swelling liquid to the dowel, it will allow the dowel to once again become secure in the chair. Replace the nails or wooden joint plugs. If the hardware in the chair seem to be loose or no good anymore, you can replace them with new ones. Even if you don't want to remove the existing hardware, you can add reinforcement with more nails or bracket hinges to make the chair sturdy. When putting in more screws, make sure they are long enough to secure the wood, but not long enough to come through the other side of the wood. You can purchase wood glue, spray lubricant, and silicone spray at most home good and hardware stores. Oiling the chair excessively may be detrimental to its mechanism. It may cause the chair to roll too easily or make the chair unable to retain height adjustments.
