Before and After: Found Chair

When we went out to Matt's dad's a few weeks ago to pick up a few of the things we left at his house I noticed the neighbor had moved out and left some gems by the road. It's 'unofficial' freecycling. I didn't get to do as much as I would have liked with this one because it's just so cool, but I really needed a sewing chair stat.

I unscrewed the seat, ditched the plastic, and untacked the existing fabric. It was a really light weight fabric- not something you'd usually find on upholstery. Despite being left out in a drizzling rain the foam was in really good condition. I ended up using the existing fabric as a pattern for a heavyweight tweedy fabric and then went about tacking it all back together. The wicher could use a bit of patching and cleaning, but it works. Any other ideas for the chair? I was debating on painting the wicker after I patch it up and maybe finding some different fabric eventually.
