Like New Chairs!!!

I did it!  

I finished my first upholstery  project, and I must say, I love it!!

Here's the before.


The table and chairs were given to us when we moved into our house by my in-laws.  We've had it for 15 years.   That should help explain the stains.

After we (Nonny, helped me take them apart and take off the fabric), tore them apart then I took a little black paint and just wiped it on to make the finish a little darker.


This is a side by side, it's not a huge difference, but still darker than it was.


And here it is finished.   

I still can't get over how good they look.  I don't think it looks too bad for my first time.
I had 6 of them to do, and I had to re-do one of them, but I think it was well worth it.

And It's So Very Cheri!
