Wow! I didn't realize how much work goes into reupholstering until this last chair project I decided to undertake. I thought reupholstering would be a great thing to learn so I could always feel a little bit more confident when wanting to purchase certain items of furniture.. but boy oh boy, I don't know if I will ever do another chair like this one again! Thank goodness for an extremely talented and patient mother-in-law (and husband!) who helped with the entire process!
Chair #1

DURING:
We took the ugly (yes, ugly.. as ugly as it gets) material from off the cushion and went to use it as a pattern for the new fabric and as soon as we turned our backs for one minute, look who turned our project into a cozy little retreat!
AFTER:
CHAIR #2 BEFORE:

And it looks like Winston found a better spot to nap... no wonder our strawberries are totally dead right now!! Little rascal...

Oo- la-la! Sooo pretty! I've never been brave enough to try re- upholstering something and now you talked me right out of it! Ha-ha! I'm glad you were brave enough, though!
I Saw you over at Priscila's and thought I'd come say "Hi!"

You've done a beautiful job on both chairs! I'm especially lovin' that French style chair! I have one just like that and it needs reupholstering in a big way!
Thank you for entering the giveaway! Good luck to you! :)
Love the transformation!! I'm seriously thinking about taking an upholstery class... Is it hard?

What a fabulous job!!! Those chairs look amazing, I've always wanted to recover but am always afraid I'm going to ruin the entire chair with my reupholstering lack of knowledge.
