Someone had (obviously) already tried to re-upholster them, but the result was pretty lumpy and, well, not pretty. But at $8 each, I figured I (and some lovely fabric) could give them a new life.
Not bad, eh?! The fabric was a remnant from a favourite fabric store in Toronto, and I was lucky to have juuuuuust enough to do the two of them. After replacing the foam on the seats and recovering, the chairs ended up costing about $15 each. Now if only the place where I want to put them wasn't over-run with other projects, I could show you them in their new 'home' rather than lined up against the wall, 'jail booking photo'-style. Sigh.
I love them! The fabric looks perfect with the wood of the chairs. What a steal!
ReplyDeleteGreat Job! Just like all the other ones you do, even the 'driveway' :-)
ReplyDeleteThey look great - what a good find. Nice job recovering. I need to peruse thrift stores more.
ReplyDeleteYES! These are so fun and done very well, I can't wait to see their final home. That fabric is so yummy!

I can't believe what you were able to do with those! They look awesome.
ReplyDeleteGood job! They look amazing. I love the new fabric.
ReplyDeleteSerioulsy, these chairs are fantastic. I love the material! You have totally inspired me to re-do 2 chairs I have sitting in my parents basement. I was intimidated but now, I think I can handle it. I have to make a trip to Hamilton to get the perfect fabric though first. LOOVVEEEE your blog.
