 $15 THRIFT STORE FIND !  This simple arm chair was pretty dirty and needed a little love but it was structurally sound and easily recovered so  I couldn't resist.  The fabric is heavy duty canvas and durable enough for upholstery use but only about $8/yard (1 1/2 yards were needed).

The silver furniture tacks (from Home Depot) are not only functional (hold the back panel in place) but also add a great little detail.  I sanded and distressed the finish and then finished it with a coat of polyurethane to keep it protected.  * Use 220 grit sandpaper before you put on the final coat to get a smooth finish.
