come have a seat at our table



....TADA....




love all the colors and the details on the legs


these are our chairs so far. i still have more chairs to do but i was a little worn out just getting these 4 done. it consumed so much time~ i hadn't made dinner for weeks..... and let's just say the day before my in-laws came ej went to a friends house for 6 hours straight so i could clean. i figure the others will make for a great winter project that my attic can handle. i still need to do piping on the red/white chairs. the upholstering isn't the best but not too bad for my very first time with a staple gun :)

before
i bought 6 of these chairs (1 captain, 5 armless) for $25
after
black spray paint and i found this canvas material for $0.99/YARD
