Hurray! They are finally done. Two years ago I picked up some free chairs in hopes that I would recover them. While Chris knew it was going to be one of my projects never to see the light of day again, I just needed some time to research. So here are the before and after pictures of
My Chairs! Note if you don't recognize seeing these before, you're not mistaken, they have been hiding in the shed the past 2 years.
Before...
After...
By far the hardest part was picking the fabric. Bringing home swatches from the store only to see that ones too formal, too plain, not the color it was in the store, or nobody else liked it. After several trips we found the right one.

Wow! They are gorgeous! I'm so impressed...but if anyone could pull this off it was you! You always have the best ideas.
Rachael and I are LOVING your new chairs... you are so talented. We love the fabric and the chairs are such a great style!
I love them! Glad to see you finishing all the tacking of the edges...and I like the pillows. A nice touch!
Jewelia,
I am doing some catch up on blogs and it's so fun to see your family. Josh and I both gasped when we saw your chair. Funny thing, I bought one cheap at a garage sale 4+ years ago that looks almost identical to your original and reupholstered it with the help of some experienced friends. I'll have to resurrect some photos and send the before and after. Yours are definitely incredible!
