Upholstery for Beginners: How To Recover Dining Chairs
Hey Yall, I am so excited to share this before and after upholstery for beginners project with you. I found these chairs on the curb in my sister’s neighborhood so I loaded them into my car and brought them home. I knew I would be recovering these often (yes you read that right) so I wanted to record the process I used. My husband and I LOVE change and something simply like new fabric is a great and affordable way to create change. Check out the chairs below, I found out from one of yall on my YouTube video that these are the Erik Buch Model 49 Chairs. This is what they looked like when I found them.
