{31 Blogging Days of May} Home DIY

Many years ago, my fiancé and I walked into a small furniture store in Denison, Texas, looking for a dining room table. We must have looked through the whole store before settling on a pub-style wooden table, complete with six chairs. Chairs with white seats. Had we rethought that one, we might not be here today.
Before!
Kyla at Blue Collar Catwalk's {31 Blogging Days} post for today is about doing a home decorating DIY. You're in luck, because Husband recently underwent a chair cushion overhaul. These chairs needed a makeover...about two years ago. They had pasta sauce stains, wood glue residue, and other icky junk defacing the once clean surface. So, we got busy...WITH THIS FABULOUS FABRIC:



Isn't it wonderful?! It's very 60s inspired, and we were thrilled to find it at a big box craft store.
 As the photographer, I documented the process. It seemed like a difficult project, but Husband says it's easy after the first time you do one {then you have 5 more chairs to do!}. 
Measure 6 inches + the Width of your chair seat.
Cut fabric to fit.


Unscrew chair cushions.
Line up the cushion on the fabric.
Fold and staple!
Trim excess.
Ta-da!
Screw cushions back in.
 Then...
 Done!
