Vintage Fabric, Fab Find

One of my favorite things to buy at thrift stores are mismatched chairs. They look great around a table, or as an accent chair in any room. One way to unify a group of mismatched chairs is to paint them all the same color, and re-do the cushions. If you haven't re-upholstered a chair cushion, it's one of the easiest things you can do.
- Flip the chair over, undo the screws
- Use the original fabric as a pattern to cutting out your new fabric
- Use a staple gun, and staple fabric around the edges
- Screw the seat bottom back to the chair, and you're finished
Tip:
- Pay particular attention to the corners, they can be a little tricky. I take the corner of the fabric, and staple it down first, then do the sides.
