My Newly Recovered Chairs

I think it's pretty obvious that my husband and I bought our kitchen table before we had kids. It's a glass top with fabric covered chairs. Nearly seven years and three kids later.... They were looking pretty gross! Even though my youngest is still in a high chair, he's managed to pull down a few cups and cereal bowls that the girls have left on the table.

So my husband was off yesterday and we covered them. We had this fabric for a very long time. We were going to recover a glider, but had no idea how to do it, so we just threw a blanket over it and called it a day. So we used that fabric to cover the seats of the chairs. I'm so excited. They look almost like new. Don't they look nice?....

In case it's not obvious, the left is the before and the right is the after. ;) Pretty gross, huh? Now I don't have to be embarrassed when people come over! My five year old came home from school and didn't even look at them. She puts her hand on the seat and immediately looks down and noticed the "new chairs." I just thought it was funny that she noticed the new fabric by touch.

I would still like a new set, but we're not at the point where we can replace anything right now. Even buying it used. And if we do decide to finally get rid of this set, we should be able to get a few extra dollars out of it when we sell it.
