I got to do a redo!

I am not nearly as talented as my younger sister - nor do I get to tackle as many projects as she does...but every once in awhile I get to dabble.  And I get to phone a friend (aka the sister who normally does these things) every couple of days when I'm stuck.

Almost 2 years ago I got a set of 6 dining chairs off of FreeCycle.  They were 90s brown with a blue printed cushion (kicking myself again for deleting that picture).  My plan was to use them when I had a dining room...and then I moved to an even smaller space.  So it was time to act!

I started by removing the cushions, staining and then painting the chairs black.  (only 5 were usable).

                                   

 

Then I picked out this cool fabric and got to cover all of them.  Have you ever removed 6 cushions, painted the chairs, covered the cushions, moved house and then tried to match the cushions up again....ummm.

Here they are in all their glory!

 Close up ;-)

   

These stayed listed for about a week and then went home with a family with 3 kids....I told them to buy some Scotchguard.....
