This project rates... out of anything I've ever done.... as the one I disliked the MOST while I was doing it!
BUT, this project also rates as the one I enjoy the MOST.... out of anything I've ever done.... EVERY SINGLE DAY!
Would you believe that I turned these:
Into these?!
I'm proud to say that the project only cost me about $20 total! The pair of chairs was free, and I re-used the padding, the cording.... even the upholstery nails. This project was done on a dime and completely upcycled. Yay!!!!
I sure learned a lot! But it will be a while before I tackle this kind of re-upholstery again. Just bein' honest. ;)
They look better in the day time... maybe I'll have to add some daytime photos.... :)
Here are a few process pictures - I was going to do a full-blown tutorial, but I'm sure there are good ones already out there somewhere AND I'm sure there are easier ways to do most of what I "figured out." But for what it's worth:
looks great! you are quite the redo-er!
ReplyDeleteThese chairs are absolutely beautiful...more so in person even than the pictures!! Great job, Sarah!
