Day Fifteen: Covering Chairs

This project has been in the works for a little while.  I covered three of the six chairs when I first painted the coffee table.  The last three chairs I finished today.  I didn't do anything on the 10th since it was my son's birthday and we were pretty busy.  Scratch that - I made cupcakes - but nothing of the Pinteresting kind.

So these bad boys were pretty easy.  We determined that the cloth I got (from my mom's designer friend for free - SCORE!) was too thin to be the main covering so we left the original cloth on the seats.  A flat head screwdriver, pliers and a staple gun - Kapow! and we were done.

The six chair garage sale find!

The worn and not too pretty original coverings.

Finding the right pattern we wanted on the seats.

Stapling is the easiest part.

Ta-da! Me (nine months pregnant) holding the finished look.

And finally how it will look on the seats.  Can't wait to take a pic of the table in the new house when we move.  I'm excited because they have green walls in the dining room and I'm hoping the green stripes in the cloth will complement it.
