Vintage Folding Chairs Update

Remember these little lovelies that I found last week?



It took quite a bit longer than I thought to get them finished (we're still not there!), but I think it was totally worth it. We still need to attach the seats and seal the frames, but here is the process and my design sketch.

Design


Seat before

Up-cycled sheets for new cushion

Layer of batting and new upholstery

Primer + first coat done!

I am a lucky gal to have such a helpful fiance

 It took ten hours, four coats of paint, and two trips to Lowes, but I think the outcome will be awesome (I promise to post a better picture when all is done.) Plus, I finally had an excuse to buy a staple gun. AND, Brian and I will be selling these at the Raleigh Flea Market on April 30th! Look for our booth and other up-cycled pieces we are working on in a few weeks.
