Here at REISSUED, we love transforming thrifted finds (and sometimes literal trash) into one-of-a-kind statement pieces that make a space feel unique, homey, and beautifully vintage. Join us as we renovate my old house and take on new trash-to treasure home projects!
This leather chair transformation took me almost 3 years! I started back in 2022 with a busted chair I found on the street and took apart some thrifted leather to create an edgy, deconstructed upholstery job. But there were definitely plenty of bumps along the way... go with me on this crazy thrift flip journey!
