Reupholstering Dining Chairs - Part 2 of 2

I'm finally done! I purchased a playful pattern that ties colors that I have around the house . It's an outdoor fabric that's waterproof so hopefully, droppings will not stain too badly.

Love your blog...like you, I'm looking for sweet designs that don't deplete my whole paycheck. Your SofaCo sectional inspired me to check the site out. Are they comfortable? No durability problems, I hope. By the way, watch for BlueFly sales: occasionally they've got those Thomas Paul pillows marked to below $25!
