Our dining chairs that we bought at the same time as our dining table broke a while ago so I started searching around the charity shops and online to see if I could find some chairs to go with our table. Eventually in a charity shop I found some that were good enough and at a good price. The problem was only that they were too pale to go with our table and the seat cover was rather naff looking.
So our first attempt of acquiring paint for the chair wasn't very good but on our second attempt when we went to a proper paint shop
we hit the jackpot! Finding the fabric for the chair covers was the easy part, I chose a map patterned wax fabric from one of the Danish fabric stores to match our pillow cases in the lounge.
Changing the chair covers
To change the chair covers I had to start with taking off all the old staples, was a bit tricky but came off easier when using a tool to wedge under.
Once I had the piece of cloth off I used that as my pattern to cut out of the new fabric and the stapled it on. This is the finished result!
I have got to say that I am rather happy with the colour match and I think that the fabric is rather fun :)
Quite a difference don't you think?
