Lucky Kaycee scored these two Kofod Larsen Lounge Chairs on Craigslist for $225 each. The chairs came without cushions (and with a very strange patio-chair replacement for the original webbing) so Kaycee was able to put her own spin on these classic chairs.

Kaycee paid around $200 per chair for professional upholstery — including new cushions, upholstery and webbing — and $140 for about 7 yards of fabric.

Kaycee says, “I was very nervous about choosing a chevron print, and I understand it’s not for everyone. I bit the bullet, knowing if I get sick of it someday, it’s only fabric and it’s an easy thing change. After some time the bold print has really grown on me, and I love my two new chairs!”

Thank you Kaycee!
