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.

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!
So cute! I like it even better than the white. Definitely has more personality now, and I can see how the fabric would really go with the rest of your decor!
