Weekend project- reupholster kitchen chairs!

A couple of weeks ago I saw a tutorial on-line that showed step by step how to reupholster kitchen chairs! It looked pretty easy, and, well, our chairs were nasty. I guess that is what happens with a 2 year old! Stains everywhere! I mentioned I wanted to do it with Adam and of course he was on board!

We hit up hobby lobby and were disipointed by the variety of fabric and patterns. Somehow Adam knew about a story in Paducah called Hancocks. Loved that store! We walked in and it is a huge warehouse that is full of fabrics! After some consultation from a worker we decided that in-door out-door was the best fabric to clean and to last.  The first pattern we fell in love with there was only enough to do 2 chairs. It sounds a little silly to be heart broken about that but we were. We ended up deciding to still using it and then added a coordinating fabric for the other two.

Here is our chair before:

Yes, i know NASTY!

 And the new look:

 Now, we just need a house for more projects! There is only so much you can do for a 70's duplex!
