It only took nine years.....
Nine years ago I bought a dining room set that I loved, but the upholstery on the seats was awful. (Some kind of heather look with brown, pink, and blue dots, made of polyester) to my eye, it made a very expensive Oak table and chairs look old and used. I searched for nine years to find just the right fabric to redo the seats. I wanted something to go with the burgundy and tan room decor. I looked everywhere. Imagine my surprise last month when I found the perfect fabric at St. Vinnies. Right colors, enough for job (3 yards, $6) and bonus, it is all cotton! I spent the day today with a friend and we redid all the chairs while I taught her how to do it. I did 3 1/2 chairs, she did 2 1/2 chairs, and I can't tell which ones are which, she did a great job! I finally have the dining set I wanted nine years ago. I am so happy today my cheeks hurt from smiling! Lol!
The first photo is the original fabric seats, next is the old and new together, then the new cotton fabric. I am in love with it now! Lighter color really "wakes up" the dark oak. (Please excuse the mess in the background, we are rearranging the house to accomodate DH's new walker.)
