How to Recover a Chair Seat

Good morning friends!

Tired of being home? Yes, I know, it's hard! But it looks like we've already hit rock bottom and the only way to go is up. Thanks for staying strong and staying home! That's the way we're going to win this battle. 🙌

While we're home, let's keep ourselves busy! I have five wonderful projects that you can recreate and will keep our minds buzzing. Starting off with this easy project, updating old seats with brand new fabric.
Recovering a chair seat is an simple project that will give you instant gratification because the investment is very minimal and you end up with a "brand new" chair! Well, almost right?! :D

I had this set of dark Chippendale chairs with damaged arms. After fixing the wonky arms, the chairs were painted a fresh color and the seats got a fun new fabric.

I just love this transformation!
