Many of you were super curious about this teaser pic I shared last week.
Well, I would love to say that these beauties are now sitting pretty in my dining room but actually I recovered them for a client. I'm working with a cute and energetic young family on their new to them house. We'll call them Family F (for fun).
Mrs. F inherited her mom's dining room furniture and wanted to give it a refresh for her family. Here is what we started with.
The chairs are in great shape, but the fabric had seen one too many dinners.
We are going to be working with blues thru out the kitchen, dinning room and living room so this navy and white buffalo check was a great base. Me and Mrs. F love a good buffalo check.
Now there are 6 of these suckers, so it took me the better part of a week to get them all done. Sadly though I didn't take pictures during the process. Bad blogger. I was just too busy concentrating.
But no worries, I'll reenact it for you - unscrew, rip fabric, pull staples, many staples, cut fabric, attach new foam, staple fabric, staple more, re-screw. Repeat. Thank god for Bravo and DVR.
There were many squeals and happy jigs when the chairs were delivered. And Mrs. F loved them too!
I love a good furniture refresh! This room is off to a great start and I'll be sure to share more as it progresses.
So what about you? Any fabrics or patterns you are in to lately? C'mon now, wouldn't these look great in my dinning room?
