Our "New" Chairs

BEFORE:picture is from the craigslist add.... we don't own that attractive wicker table and flower arrangement (bummer)
AFTER: ignore our messy apartment in the background ... & they still need trim
I think that it turned out pretty awesome! We had a lot of fun while doing it. Jordan took all the old fabric off, then i painted to wood, cut out the new fabric, and then we worked together to get the new fabric on just right! We worked on it Saturday morning took a break to go surfing and boogie boarding and came home and finished it up.
And the best part ....It was really cheap. I found the chairs on craigslist for $10 for two of them and the lady even delivered them to us. I got the fabric from potterybarn on clearance $19.99 for 5 yards, and then we just bought a little paint.
.... I might have to quit my job and start re-upholstering it was definitely more enjoyable.
