" Twins Kelli and Kristi of Lolly Jane braved a week of 100-plus-degree temperatures in Arizona, painting and making over one lucky teen girl&amp;#039;s bedroom\u2014for free! The crafty duo auctioned off their services for a church fundraiser and have been busy turning a girl&amp;#039;s bedroom into a more grown-up neutral retreat for her, a project filled with fun, easy makeovers. First up: this wooden chair from Goodwill with a blue vinyl seat. It didn&amp;#039;t quite fit with the gray-and-mint palette the pair dreamed up for the new room so they gave it a quick makeover that even DIY-phobes can conquer.           Painted + upholstered this thrifted chair over the weekend. (And by upholstered we mean stapled ;) See the before #ontheblog #lollyjane #diy #paintedfurniture #americanbully #murphy #ljfurniture A photo posted by Kelli+Kristi | Lolly Jane blog (@lollyjaneblog) on Jun 3, 2014 at 4:21pm PDT     Here&amp;#039;s the step-by-step guide (adorable Murphy, the puppy, not included):   Supplies  -\u00BD yard upholstery fabric (this gray-and-white stripe came from Jo-Ann&amp;#039;s) -A heavy-duty staple gun -Chalk paint (Kelli and Kristi used DecoArt&amp;#039;s chalky finish in Everlasting. It&amp;#039;s also available at Home Depot and Michael&amp;#039;s) -A foam brush -120-grit sandpaper  Directions  1. Unscrew the seat, remove the staples from the current fabric, and replace any rotted batting or foam that&amp;#039;s falling apart. Cover the seat with the new fabric and staple in place. 2. Use the foam brush to apply the chalk paint to the entire chair. Let dry completely. 3. Gently sand edges to antique the finish (work in corners and places where natural wear and tear would occur). No need to seal.
