We forgot to tell you that we were going to re-cover the dining room chairs too!







 Jake and I went to Joann Fabrics the other night, while the moroccan chicken was at home getting too done, and we picked out fabric for our dining room chairs!  They were having a 50% off sale!  And we got the end of a bolt so we got another  50% off that piece!  Today I am destroying my hands and recovering them!!  Multiple cuts and one blister so far.

 
                                                  
The color/texture of the dining room chairs before!

Stripped chair

Project in progress!

Sight of destruction! And reconstruction :)

We'll have six in this pattern.  Unfortunately, as a permanent testament to my failure to do the math before cutting, two of them will be oriented the other way.  Four will be oriented this way.  Gah.

Two chairs will be in this color; this one and the "captain's chair" with arms.

The two fabrics side by side.

  1. Very impressive that you know how to do that and they look great! No one will notice the patterns while sitting on them...just put the "sideways" two on the same side! :)
