Frugal Home Decoration

Since we had people over last Saturday, I didn’t want people to see the mess my three year old has made of the chairs to our kitchen table. Buying a new set of chairs was of course out of the question, and even buying chair covers was also out of the question. I remembered that three years ago I bought a lot of fabric remnants at a garage sale. Luckily I found a piece big enough to cover all four chairs. This is all I needed to reupholster the chairs myself:

This was the before chair: you can’t really see the stains since this was one of the “better chairs” where my husband sat.


The after chair: I am hoping the darker fabric is better at disguising those grape juice/tomato sauce stains.


Short and sweet project, about 45 minutes from start to finish.
