Reupholstered revolution!

It took a little over two hours, lots of muscle, ingenuity, patience and LCD but Fran and I finally reupholstered our dining room table.


Step 1: we began by watching a youtube video how-to. It didn't really tell us much that we didn't already figure but, it was a good warm up.


Step 2: unscrew screws from the bottom of the chairs.

Step 3: pry out the staples from the ugly old material (this was the worst and most painful step)

Step 4: iron out any wrinkles from fabric (especially if it's been in a closet for the better part of four months)

Step 4: use the old material as your fabric template and cut

Step 5: place chair bottom, fold, staple 

Step 6: screw chair bottom back on

Step 7: sit back and relax!

The last three chairs are a lot better than the first three chairs. But, then again, practice does make perfect. Onto the next project!
