How To Recover Your Kitchen Chairs..
A Frugal Idea and a nice makeover!
It made the whole kitchen just pop!
Here is what my old kitchen chair coverings looked like!
They were really very nice when they were brand new.
They were covered in a plush suede material.
But when you have a chair covered in a solid color it shows
Every stain and all the dirty marks.
Spilled foods and grease spots.
I remember one summer day someone came in with their wet swim shorts on,
Yes, I had permanent seat marks on that chair.
These chairs were good quality and the wood was still in very nice shape.
I have six chairs with this kitchen table set.
So I decided I would recover them!
Firstly, measure each chair top, then add a few inches to each
chair , as it is wise to have extra material.
(If you are not sure of how much material to buy,
Get the measurements and find someone who can help you
purchase the right amount of fabric)
I chose a very bold material with a pattern that would help hide future stains!
Supplies Needed
You will need a staple gun!
Also a can Of a good Scotch Guard product!
Cut each chair size accordingly!
Place over each chair and pull tightly, staple them down on the underside!
Take each seat cushion and spray with scotch guard!
My whole family helped me one evening to take off the old material,
And we cut each size of fabric to fit each chair.
I wiped down and waxed each chair.
Then we covered and stapled on the new fabric coverings.
Then we took them outside and we sprayed them with a
Fabric Scoth Guard Spray!
To add an extra barrier of protection!

(Here are the results and the fabric I chose)
I also did another real different thing, as I said I had six chairs. So I covered four of them in the bold, bright paisley color. And I covered two of the chairs in a soft golden beige with a very nice pattern. The two patterns look really nice together. Not a perfect match, but they compliment each other. I use the two chairs in my living room. One is used at my study desk!
Hope You Enjoyed My Kitchen Chair Makeover!
What projects have you done lately?
I hope this inspires some of you!
Sometimes just a little fabric and some paint can
Home is where the HEART is...
