After 5 years our kitchen chairs were looking worse for the wear...
Nasty, I know... I've been wanting to reupholster them for a while but couldn't find a fabric I liked. So I'd been on the prowl and stumbled on a nice neutral heavy-duty curtain that I liked at Target. I picked up 1 long curtain panel, figuring it'd be enough for all 6 of my chairs, and grabbed a heavy duty staple gun as my weapon of choice.
I unscrewed the seat from the base of the chair, cut the curtain panel into 6 squares, then just stapled the curtain pieces right over the existing fabric.
It's taking a while... it's been a few weeks, and to be honest I'm only done with 5/6 chairs. Not because it's hard to do, in fact, it's pretty darn easy. The problem is I need to Scotch Guard them, but its been so stinkin cold and doing it inside is WAY too stinky... So Maggie's chair is still rocking the shkeevy old fabric. Oh well, she doesn't seem to mind ;)
A little comparison action...
They feel like they're brand new, and it only cost me $25!
