Chair Redo

I was looking for a chair to use in my guest room and I had an idea for the perfect cheap solution:
I went to an antique/consignment store and looked for an old, inexpensive head dining chair. I wanted one with arms and some character in the styling.
I found this 1920's chair for $22:



I gave it a rough sand and two coats of a high-gloss black laquer spray paint.



I also added some padding to the cushion, recovered it in a new fabric and wha-la! A brand-new chair for about $35.
