A much needed upholstery makeover

Anyone who has been to our house in the past - lets say - 2 1/2 years may remember the blue cushions on our dining room chairs. The dreaded blue upholstery. Light, solid colored chair cushions and toddling, painting, Oreo eating, messy fingered boys don't mix. They were just a mess! I've oxy-cleaned them too many times to count and finally I gave up. They needed a makeover.

Sandi was gracious enough to help me with this job. Well, I should confess that the only part I had in this job was to cut out the huge hunks of foam that add cushion to the chair. So let me rephrase, Sandi was gracious enough to do this job and she gave these chairs the beautiful, much needed makeover they deserve. This table belonged to my grandparents and they gifted it to Patrick and I when we bought our first house. I love that it's a part of my family and want to keep it, but I'll admit that I've been so frustrated with these nasty cushions that I've been tempted to put it on the curb. Thankfully, some pretty fabric at Hobby Lobby inspired me to give it another try, and now I'm happy that I did.
