DIY: Recovering Dining Room Chairs /// Part Deux

Good Morning Blog-o-sphere!


Last night was a success! Here is what happened, we chose our fabric. Here our top 6 choices, we ended up going with the bottom fabric.

The staples were the wrong size for the staple gun so I had to get new ones, and they are perfect! Until the staple gun jammed and I had to disassemble it. No "extra parts" when I got it back together! Woo! I have 3 of the 6 chairs complete! 

Here is the Before and After

DIY: Recovering Dining Room Chairs

Welcome to my world of DIY.

Today = a big ol' fail.

I can't seem to get my darn staple gun to make the staple flush with the bottom of my seat. Not cool.

Recover Dining Room Chairs

I have yet to recover the dining room chairs that we inheirited 2 years ago. They are still green and pink plaid. I was thinking about one of these (below)...Thoughts?

DIY: Jewelry Box

Emily and I were at Goodwill the other week and I found this for a whopping $0.97!

 After a trip to Home Depot, we came back with a half pint of Valspar's Lyndhurst Duchess Blue and our very own Purdy Brushes.

After some sanding and about 4 layers.....

Ta da!

What do you think?

DIY: Wall Art

We had 2 blank canvases laying around. Well, they were hiding behind our buffet in the dining room. Enter JoAnn Fabric. For a mere $6.99/yd I bought some abstract fabric and covered the canvases for some cheap-o art for our oddly proportioned wall.

Materials:
2 blank canvases
Small nails
Hammer
Stapler (for when your fingers are too bruised to hold the tiny nails any more)
