This gorgeous rocker makes us feel extremely wanty. The glossy white paint. The modern, fresh fabric. And child-sized! Clearly we have a button-tufted soft spot in our hearts for upholstery makeovers. But if we'd seen it in it's original $6.99 Goodwill state, we may have kept on walking.

Shelly Leer of ModHomeEc is an upholstery genius. She didn't keep walking. She stalked this chair and pounced on it. You can see the fascinating and inspiring step-by-step photo tutorial at Curbly. For more of her remarkable makeovers, tutorials, and DIY tips, give Shelly a visit at ModHomeEc. It's a perfect combination of home ec class, shop class, and chatting with friends over coffee and staple guns.
