Mom’s Dining Chairs

April 6, 2010 at 6:05 pm (Projects) (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , )

One of my many recent projects is refinishing my mom’s dining room chairs.  And yes, I am finished with this one!

Mom has gorgeous antique wood dining chairs.  But, the cushions were reupholstered many years ago, and are now raggedy and faded.  So, we bought so printed leather and I set to work.

Here is one chair before:

Out of date and just plain shabby.

And the after:

What an update!

This was super quick and easy… and my first experience with powertools, my new staple gun! 🙂

The Wheels Are Spinning…

The wheels in my head are spinning, the ideas churning around.  I said before that I have some big projects in the works, and when I said big I actually meant HUGE.  Here is a bit of the funky inspiration that is going on right now.  Soon I will hopefully be able to let you all know what is going on around here!

I love the shape of this sofa and the bold pattern is growing on me.  Just wait until I can tell you why I am thinking about buying this baby!

Maybe I’m loving the pop of color because I’m craving SPRING…

No, I did not disappear again!  Just so many changes are in the works, and I have been BUSY!  I will have many many updates soon! 

For now, here is the weekly chair love:

I’m a sucker for acrylic chairs.  And vintage leather cushion.  Love.

Chair Website Love

I came accross this very interesting web site with a bunch of great chair pictures!  It even describes this history of the chair.  Check out the website:   http://myamazingfact.blogspot.com/2009/08/sleek-funky-and-weird-chair-designs.html

And here is a sample:

I think this recycled chair would be very neat in a game room or boys room or hang out spot.

This one reminded me of how long it took to collect corks for my cork board! Also very neat looking!
