First Re-Upholstery Project!

We have some bar stools that the kids use in the kitchen, Mr. B HATES them because they get dirty so easy and look BAD!  They are a pain to clean everyday!  

So on President's day I had an idea to run into the fabric store and look for some vinyl fabric, so we could just easily wipe them down.   Not only did I find some but I found a remnant for cheap, total cost was $5.41 and I still have some left over to use for something else!

Mr. B popped off seats for me and helped staple the fabric as I stretched it around the circle seats.  

The verdict:  We LOVE it!  They look so much better and are soo much easier to keep clean!  It was so fun & easy I'm thinking about re-upholstering our dining room chairs next! :)




See how ugly & yucky they look?!

And YES, I want to get back into the swing of blogging, I get on a roll and then iLife/iPhoto decide to not cooperate with Blogger and it just makes me so frustrated that I quit for awhile!  Hoping they will decide to cooperate in the near future!
