Victorian Print Slip Covers

There are times when the cost of upholstery exceeds the value of the chair. Slip covers are a cost effective way to update your furniture. 

When the chair's frame is straight and square it's a lot easier to manufacture a cover.

The Change can be

dramatic.

Super Hero Chairs

I was looking for more projects to do so last weekend I hit a couple of garage sales. At one of the sales I found this set of ugly chrome leg chairs. As I loaded them in the truck it hit me, “can I make these look good or did I just waste my money?

The easy part was stripping them down. They did need new seat cushions, the old ones were to small and far to thin, so I cut out new wood bottom's and foam to match. Now they're ready.

The challenge was to use the material I have and still make them look good.

Once I was done I stepped back looked and said; I just recovered Superman’s chairs.

The Porch Swing Project

After years of exposure the porch swing was ready for a rebuild. 

Using the old seat as a pattern 

the new one should fit well.

The hard part was sewing the seat around the metal frame.

The old paint easily sanded smooth then 

I used a flat green spray can to make it look new.

It took a few coats. 

Since the sunshade frame could be disassembled,

 it was easy to sew it's replacement. 

The cushions defiantly needed an upgrade. 

The finished project and just in time for mothers day.
