How Nosotros Updated Our Dining Room Chairs

Last calendar week when I got tired of packing I decided to receive got a niggling intermission too create some painting. This volition last the 4th house that Jon too I volition receive got lived since nosotros got married. Before each of our previous  moves I painted too recovered slice of furniture too made pillows too did every bit much run ahead of fourth dimension every bit I could, therefore that when nosotros moved inwards I would receive got a caput laid out on each room. This motion I hoped to create that every bit well, but I speedily discovered that amongst 2 helpers merely packing lonely was going to last quite an accomplishment to receive got done inwards time! So, I gave upwards on my grand plans of stripping too repainting multiple dressers too other slice of furniture pieces too making novel bedding for Lillie too Lola's novel room too merely went amongst the 2 easiest projects on my list  - speedily repainting the porch chairs too therefore sprucing upwards the 2 french chairs inwards our dining room. 

Now, if you lot are wondering why I would bother to redo the french chairs allow me demo you. About a calendar month or 2 agone nosotros decided to allow Lola laid out sitting inwards a chair without her highchair inwards the set. When nosotros removed the high chair topographic point utilization from the french chair nosotros discovered lots of things had been dripping downward through her topographic point too all these lovely stains greeted us:

The kickoff affair I did was withdraw the seat. This i truly doesn't receive got whatever screws therefore you lot merely describe it out. It does receive got a practiced fleck of wiggling though seeing how it fits inwards at that topographic point real tightly. Our novel household is quite nighttime therefore I am planning on truly lightening it upwards every bit before long every bit nosotros motion inwards yesteryear icon all of the walls too trimwork. I am going to create lots of white too grays too therefore am trying to larn away from some of creams too browns nosotros receive got now. On some of our pieces this won't last possible but I'd similar to lighten upwards every bit many every bit I am able to. For these chairs every bit good every bit the dining chairs on our porch I painted over the creamy colouring amongst Dove White yesteryear Benjamin Moore. (I also invention on waxing it but haven't gotten to that all the same too at this betoken likely won't until nosotros are settled inwards our novel place.)

Fortunately they didn't receive got likewise long to pigment too merely took 2 low-cal coats. I am planning on distressed the white a niggling fleck but haven't gotten to that yet.

Next upwards was recovering the seat. Although I create similar the textile (and would utilization it inwards a bedroom) it wasn't what I had inwards ask heed for the seat. I was looking for something to a greater extent than muted amongst a lighter gray. Unfortunately though I decided to create this final infinitesimal therefore didn't receive got fourth dimension to lodge whatever textile online too merely ended upwards running to both of the textile stores nosotros receive got hither inwards town too this was the best selection I could discovery that had grayness too white inwards it.

I receive got changed these cushions out quite a bit. I intend this was the 5th or 6th dissimilar fourth dimension I've recovered them. It such an slow too cheap agency to switch things upwards too because it's slow I don't receive got to stress likewise much if nosotros receive got a major spill.  You merely lay the textile downward amongst the backside upwards too therefore pump the topographic point on locomote on of it upside down.

Then I cut down around the textile leaving plenty infinite to flexure it over the sides of the chair too allow at to the lowest degree an inch or 2 to last stapled.

And therefore I laid out stapling.

I form of flexure it similar this every bit I got around the corners. As long every bit you lot describe it overnice too tight it won't last noticeable at all when the topographic point is dorsum inwards place.

And at that topographic point you lot receive got it! Now they expect build clean too fresh too cook for our novel house.

 

And hither they are dorsum inwards their house at the table:

And if you lot are wondering why those shots are therefore cropped - well, because the residual of our household looks similar this:

At the terminate of this calendar week this volition last person else's household too nosotros volition last loading upwards the moving truck - ahhh!
