This past week we got a new table. Our old table was all wobbly and kinda scary to sit around. (though you did practice good table manners as you didn’t want to lean on the table for fear of it falling) The original table was given to us by my BIL and it came with 5 chairs. the cushions on the chairs were just awful. I found some heavy stripey fabric that I really liked a long time ago. But I didn’t want to reupholster them if we were going to be getting rid of the table.  So the fabric has been sitting in my fabric stash for a long time just waiting for me to use it! Since we got a new table but not new chairs this Friday after getting the table, I quickly grabbed the fabric, my handy heavy duty stapler and my drill. I took off the cushions cut the fabric and stapled them together. Then I re- attached the cushions to the chairs.  A much needed improvement.

I also took a photo of a chair and the end of the table together. They don’t match exactly but they look pretty close. (you can see some yummy chocolate on the table!)  I really love doing something as simple as stapling some fabric to change something so dramatically. I plan on painting the living-room/dining-room that red color but that’s a project for another day!
