Thrifty, simple dining room chairs

So...I got the chairs off of craigs list

For free

With a huge table

that I really need to redo

but that I don't use in my dining room

because I already have a table there

that I love.

All said,

about 4 months ago

(maybe 5)

I took the chair seats off the chairs

I started to prime them

in white

with a brush

and I gave up halfway through

So I was a but dubious

as to whether

black spray paint

was really going to do the job

and it did

but that is no where near

the end of this here story

I took the seat cushion

and unpried about 974 staples



to get rid of

the hideous green

mini plaid checked fabric

that was pretty beat

Then I had to walk away for 17 hours or so

to contemplate

which black and white fabric

I was going to

recover the seats in

because you know the drill...

...if it ain't black

or white...

supposedly, I don't do it.

whatever.

because

from a distance

one of these bold print fabrics

looks a lot more black

than white

that's the one I went with



That I picked up 4 yards of this print

for 5.50 (50% off or it ain't coming home with me)

had me doing the happy dance.

I think I'll use the more white fabric

(which is actually a curtain)

in the place I bought it for

you know,

hanging

as curtains

in the yet to be unconceived

child's room.

Just saying.

I am starting to love prints.

In miniature doses of course.

Happy house frittering!
