A Cheaper Option

Last winter, Matt and I started talking about our dining room. I asked if we could invest in some dining room chairs to go with our table. Over the months, I found different chairs I liked and showed them to him. Here were a couple...

Problem was...too expensive!

So, one night we were sitting at our table and I looked into the school room where we had some of our school chairs. I suddenly thought, "I bet I could make those work!". So I asked Matt if he'd care if I redid them. He was immediately enthusiastic because we were using what we already had...resourceful and cheap!!

So, here is the progression and finished product:

The chair at the begining. These chair were torn at the front and had duct tape on the front. The tape was coming off and was very sticky.

So, I took the cushions off and pulled the ugly material off of the cushions.

Then I sanded them down

Then I primed and spray painted them

I stapled the material onto the seats.

And the back of the seat

Here's the finished chair!!

I'm really happy with them!

Here they are gathered around the table that I redid too. I think I redid these chairs for the price of 1 of the metal chairs up top. Pretty fun!
