Before and After of My Dining Room Chairs

While I am stuck at home, I have been going through my fabrics
that are part of my decorating business and checking prices and pulling
the ones that are no longer available. Some of these fabrics are beautiful
and can be used for any decorating project, I started grouping them in color
or print groups of five and have had great success listing them on ebay for
,99 cents. Check out my store under my name.

 In this process, I came upon a pretty chenille fabric with a water pattern, tone on tone,
and it sent me to the Robert Allen outlet website. I noticed that this fabric was also
in other colors, I loved the color frost, I needed three yards, two seats can be done with
one yard. There was 3.5 yards available, perfect, I saved an extra ten percent by buying
the entire bolt. The fabric came earlier this week and I went to town on this project. Here
is my journey.

I popped the seats out.
This is the original fabric that the chairs came in, they are Italian and came from Greenfront.
Some where there is a matching table and breakfront. they were all in my office at my old
house.

The peach fabric was chosen for my office, the leaf Larsen fabric was on my old chairs,
my ex keep them. When I switched them for the lighter chairs, I keep my fabric because
at the time I loved it, twenty years later, it was time for a change.

 Here is the fabric, can you see the pattern, it is very subtle pattern. I went to
Walmart and got a off white muslin to cover the original fabric on the seats before
I put the new fabric on so that the colors would not bleed through. I was affraid to
remove the original cover because I wasn't sure what was underneath it.
Everyone must be sewing because the fabric section was whipped out.
So here is the before and after, sorry the before is a little blurry. But what a difference
it makes, the room is so much lighter and brighter.

and AFTER
