This is the other make-over I wanted to show you yesterday, but my camera was not cooperating!
There were some awesome projects I saw at the party that I want to recap later in the week.
You guys really got a lot done!
This was a $25 yard sale purchase. It was one of two. The paisley came on it, but wasn't my dream fabric and didn't really go with much.
They were also about 2 inches too tall since they were dining room chairs so I did one of these numbers on them.
I debated about painting them a creamy white, but I couldn't decide, so I left them (for now).
When I found this tawny brown fabric, I knew this was the one!
I thought these chairs were going to be an easy staple and wrap job, but oh no... they were a remove a million staples job.
But it turned out so pretty! Now I just need to tackle chair number 2~!

Absolutely gorgeous chairs! What an incredible find. Although I didn't mind it much in the orginal fabric, the one you chose looks terrific.
I love the chair--you did a really fabulous job reupholstering the seat--WTG girl!
It really looks great! I'm always so intimidated by recovering chairs that require trim work, but after seeing how lovely yours is I think I might be able to give it a try.
Thoes are some beautiful chairs and I love the fabric you chose. The caning and shape are so pretty.
Jen, the chair looks so wonderful, much better then before!! you are so dang creative...goodness, I need just an ounce of your creativity please!
Beautiful! Love your moxy to cut those legs down. :) It takes nerve to do that. Beautiful outcome!

Beautiful and just the kind I'm looking for but can't find around here without paying big bucks, sugar! I'd paint mine white though, but either way they're still beautiful, chickee...

Great find on the chair. Great make-over. I've been to intimidated to reupholster anything. I love the color as it. It goes nice with your color scheme.
BTW, I posted my 7 crazy facts award today.
Really love how it turned out!
Brilliant job! Love the fabric! I wish I knew how to upholster!!
Oh very very pretty!
WoW, Jen - really beautiful! I love the new fabric!
Oh! That is gorgeous! You made it even prettier with that fabric. laurie
Very nicely done.
Ugh! Staples! It was worth it though because the chair is gorg!
Hi Jen,
Love the chairs and your room so much. You have great style and an eye for a bargain. Take care.

Great job on your chair! I love to reupholster but removing staples would be my least favourite part of the job!! Reading through the comments from others that are afraid to have a go at recovering furniture...I wish they would just have a go, I'm sure they could do it.

So pretty.
Very pretty, I am going to re-do our dining room chairs and I have never done this before so I'm a little nervous. Hope mine looks as good as yours.
Hi Jen
The chair turned out fabulous! Love the fabric you chose.
Have a great day...hey I think I see the sun!

I love the new fabric and I actually really like the current wood finish. Also, I really love the chest in the corner instead of having an end table pulled up to the side of the sofa. I'm eyeballing my living room now and considering a new furniture arrangement...
I love the picture of your room, can you tell me where you got the fabric for your drapes? It is gorgeous.
