Because the chairs at the dining room table are used at least weekly let's face it, children drop food when they eat, or for that matter adults have a way of making their own sort of messes.
So many spots and stains had been scrubbed and some were actually able to be gotten out, but alas, some would be downright persistent in staying right where they were put without avail.
I know a lady who was willing to show me how to reupholster these chairs. Easy she says. I am such a team player.......so why not share the joy.....enter my gifted husband. I am glad to announce all the chairs are now beautifully recovered.
This past Sunday we all sat on the silk, taupe colored, newly covered chairs. My husband set a towel on each and everyone's chair. It was almost like being handed a bib.

The new fabric is elegant - I'm thinking the seat "bibs" were a good idea.
This makes me smile! Especially the towel part. That's so much like my husband!
We recovered some antique chairs we inherited many years ago, when we were just starting out. Money was very tight, so I visited a thrift/junk store, and found 20 yards of men's tie silk for just $3.00. My grandma talked me into buying it, and those recovered chair seats lasted for about twenty years. The material on yours is lovely. Nice work.
Very nice job. We are more careful with things we put time and effort into. It's nice to sit on a special seat once in a while.
