A Pair Of Chairs With Flair

On the day I chose to hit garage sales last week, I found these chairs at my last stop and had just enough money left to purchase two of them.  For $5.00 each, I knew I could fix these up to sell in my booth and I wouldn’t even have to paint them!

They were already black but a little dirty and the fabric had seen better days.

I took the seat off and removed all the fabric and batting so I could start from scratch.  I also wiped the chairs themselves down very well with Chlorox wipes.

One of the chairs had 7 ~ yes, 7 ~ layers of fabric stapled to it!  I’m not above stapling new fabric over old chairs myself, but seriously, after two layers you gotta remove at least one!

I decided to use some fabric I bought recently from Décor Steals ~ the grain sack fabric they have available every so often. I had splurged and bought three colors and, of the three, decided the tan and black stripe would suit these chairs best.

After adding some new batting, I stapled the fabric to the seats and then reattached them to the chair.

A great way to get a new look, just by changing out the fabric! 

This is the first project I’ve used this fabric on and I really like it.  I’m thinking some pillows and Christmas stockings with it next.
