We're hosting the fam for Thanksgiving this year, which necessitated that we upgrade from our little farm table that B has had for a decade. We were about to plunk down a small fortune for a new one, when we found a nice one at a garage sale for much less. Unfortunately, the white seats were pretty worn and stained.
So I tried something I have never done before and recovered them. I did the end chairs in green and the four middle in a floral and they all have plastic over them (tacky? probably. Practical and essential? absolultely! I love being able to easily wipe off red sauce and spilled milk.) It was a really easy project too.
