Looking back four years to when we purchased our dining room set, I remember worrying about the white cushions, but the price was right. Surprisingly, they have actually held up fairly well. The chair that has taken the biggest beating is my son's chair of course! Between the spilled food, dirty fingers and zippered sports pants, this chair has seen better days.
I decided that it was finally time to recover the chairs and I was on the lookout for fabric. On a recent trip to Joann Fabrics, I purchased a fun black and white patterned fabric to use. While I was waiting to have my fabric cut, I browsed through the clearance rack and found a beautiful fabric! I didn't quite have a plan for it, but at $6/yard on clearance and an additional 50% off I couldn't pass up a bargain like that! SCORE!!!
As I unpacked from my shopping trip, I kept going back to the clearance fabric just wondering what I could do with it... I was sure I would think of something!
Sale Price - $3/yard!
I was a little bummed out - I just knew I wouldn't be happy with the end result. I grabbed my purse and was ready to head back to the store when the clearance fabric caught my eye. Why hadn't I realized it before - this fabric was perfect!
The best part - I only paid $11 for it!!!
I'm thrilled with the end result! The new chairs have such a rich and luxurious look to them! Why did it take me so long to do this? Now I can't wait to work on the faux roman shade - that project coming soon.
Have you recovered any chairs? Or have you found a fantastic deal just hiding on the clearance rack? I'd love to see and hear about your recent projects. Please share!!!
