DIY Project: Reupholstering Dining Chairs - Part 2 of 2
I'm finally done! I purchased a playful pattern that ties colors that I have around the house . It's an outdoor fabric that's waterproof so hopefully, droppings will not stain too badly. For the cushion, I used a 1" high density foam and extra loft batting. I have one down and another one to go. Then, I'm off to find my second set!

A job well done! Congrats...
Thank you - I appreciate you coming back to check in :)
It looks amazing! Good job!
Wow! Great job.
Please forgive me as I asked the same question about your green rocking chair (that was so fabulous), but did you use a brush or a spray paint? If a brush, what kind? My attempt left major brush strokes and your photos look flawlessly smooth. Maybe it's the paint I'm using. Help please! :)
I used a brush - spray paint is not a good option because you can't control how the paint layers onto the piece. If you are having issues w/ seeing the strokes, I'd recommend using a 320 grade or higher sand paper for softening. Also, you should invest on a high quality brush (~ $7). You won't be disappointed ... less likely to see the stroke marks. Good luck & thanks for checking back in.
Thanks for the brush tips/advice. Big difference. :)
that looks like a saarinen.. replaced the docksta with the real deal?
I've been looking for chairs to pep up my inherited Saarinen table since forever. Matching the chair fabric to the wall hanging...amazing. I wish you could show me what to do with my ugly space.
