For my wedding one of the best gifts we were given was a set of chairs and matching card table. Perfect gift for any broke newly married couple. The chairs we a little drab for me after a while and with our new move I wanted to re-vamp my "dining room table set" he he, and make it adorable and a little more "me". I went to the cloth store and picked out 2 different patterns that I loved that coordinated well together. The pads on the top of the chair unscrewed and the pads on the bottom of the chair I was able to hammer out. I kept the original gray color on two of the chairs and used a textured dark brown spray paint on the other two. I cut the yard of cloth in half and stretched it until there were no wrinkles in the fabric and stapled it with a staple gun (my new best friend) to the back of the pieces of the chair that I took off. I did not remove the original padding or cloth because the new cloth covered it well and the old stuff created more padding. I cut the excess cloth and screwed the top of the chair back in and used a spray adhesive (works great) for the seat of the chair.I did nothing to the table except add a table cloth that I made out of my old duvet (Yes I cleaned it first). I measured the table and decided how much overhang I wanted off the sides and added that extra little bit to the measurements I already had. I cut, ironed, covered the table and with some extra strips, I tied the corners of the table in a bow, which also gathered the duvet cloth really cute. I spent $16 dollars on the cloth, $25 on the spray paint and adhesive, and $15 on the staple gun. Quick and easy fix and they look so cute. Comment your questions. ENJOY!
