Ch ch ch changes....
Ahh...I miss David Bowie.
Lots of changes going on at the Casa! As our family and friends know, we have been working on our house one project and one room at a time for the last 3 years. Slow and steady!
I'll have more pics to post when the weather clears up (we don't have professional lighting!) but here's one project completed that was WAY overdue.
Recently we've been trying to lighten up our decor. Get rid of the yellows, tans and off-whites and incorporate grays and whites and more "cottage" accents. Blame it on the HGTV show Fixer Upper craze.
7 years ago, we had our dining chairs professionally recovered. Can't tell you what they looked like before (probably white) but I remember how expensive it was, so I decided to recover them myself. I'm getting pretty good at this DIY stuff! ;)
I couldn't find fabric that I liked. Let me rephrase that. I couldn't find fabric that I liked at a price I loved. :/ So I started checking out tablecloths, curtains and fabric shower curtains at Target. Depending on how much fabric you need, this can be a great alternative. I found a large rectangle tablecloth in chambray and loved it! The blue looks good with the wood tone I think!
Before on the left = bleh
Ta Da! New seat on the right = So pretty!
1 tablecloth, a new staple gun and 3 days later, we have new chairs! Its funny, the Hubs is very protective of keeping them stain-free after seeing the labor involved. :D
Will post before and after shots of other projects soon!
