Chairs Recovered

When I got married, my parents gave me 4 large arm chairs to use in my dining room. They were covered in army green vinyl with brass tacks all around the edges. They were not pretty. But along with the chairs, my mom gave me some very nice cream colored fabric and I had them redone. They looked great for the first 20 years of our marriage. Lately they've been looking shabby. I found some really beautiful fabric at a thrift store for $3.99. It was enough to redo 2 chairs. The task was daughting to me, so I sent them out to be redone. They look beautiful and we will now be using them in our living room as side chairs. Take a look for yourself!

Here's some close ups of the fabric:

  1. I think you've really matched the fabric to the style of the chair extremely well. Very elegant. Hope you'll come by Atticmag for our really useful giveaway. -- Jane F.

  3. Hi Wendy~Ann again...you left a comment and asked me where I got my tablecloth for last weeks tablescape that I did on my front porch. I made it. It is Waverly's Garden Images Black. I know that it is still for sale at Joann Fabrics, if you have one nearby. You can find lots of accessories in that fabric, just google it.:) Sorry about leaving the answer on a comment. Have a wonderful day!
