Since I've decided to take a (somewhat) break from house hunting online, I'll be filling my time with more crafts :) Without looking for a home, we won't be moving anytime soon, meaning we get another summer in our awesome condo. Since we'll be here, I'm going to spruce up a bit. Therefore, today I decided to reupholster our dining room chairs! I've wanted a new dining room set for a long time, but we just need to save for our new home as much as we can, plain & simple.
I found a Hobby Lobby 4 miles from work & ran over on my lunch break. I am THRILLED with the fabric I found, it's divine!!! The best part...it was ((drumroll)) $20 total for this project! That's approximately $1,380 in savings than if we had purchased a new trendy dining room set! YAY for saving our money!!

Start by removing original upholstery with these
handy tools. |
 |
| Make sure your critters stay away! Flying staples may occur. |
 |
| Measure, cut & iron new fabric. |
 |
| Straighten, staple & TA-DA! |
 |
| An awesome all-new chair!! |
If I am this in love and proud of CHAIRS....I will absolutely be a hot mess when we have children. When I finished the first chair (did 4 tonight) I kept smiling & giggling to myself & saying "I DID THAT!" Nerd? Probably. Proud? Absolutely.
I can't wait to find out what I get inspired to do the rest of the week!!
