Not only did you create a lovely, cheerful space but you kept your cushions out of the landfil. Seems like a win, win situation to me.

Not cheap - very creative. Your cats seem to appreciate your creative solution and you will get more years from your chairs.

I have used sheets to make curtains and bed skirt to match a comforter. Your chairs look great. I also purchased "expensive back then" chairs in 1984 and they held up beautifully as my patio is inclosed as yours is.

Cheap would have been covering the bad spots with duct tape. You are frugal and you have a good eye for color. Nicely done. You can be proud of yourself.

I think of duct tape as a fashion statement. There is always the classic grey but wait, it also comes in decorator prints. It is a whole new trend in decor that has yet to be really explored.

Creative and resourceful. Mom always used the word resourceful and I have to smile when I say the word, too.
