I did something new last weekend! I've always been interested in recovering chairs....just never tried it! The chairs that were here when we moved have quite a story...It started back in the 1960's when one of the first missionaries to Trinidad moved here and set up housekeeping, which included a 6 piece dining room set. That same table and chairs passed down through at least three missionary couples and now us. Dad did some shoring up work, inserting pegs and glue- and we girls recovered them. I think that's kinda neat...all that history in a set of chairs...anyway! It was very easy and quite a bit of fun...I love working with my sisters! :)
Here is the original chair....
Just pull out the staples....
Staple on the new!
Tada! Doesn't it look good? Mom found this material...I think it looks real nice.

Lydia, your project turned out very nice! I recovered chairs once, and it's not hard to do. Sure does give them a nice facelift. Hmm, I wonder what's next on your list? Looking forward to hearing about another project. :)
Nice job - they look good! :) I wanted to recover our chairs, but they're only being loaned to us so I'll have to wait to try that out till later down the road! :)
