Getting closer!

I might actually finish these dining room chairs before I die of old age. They have been the most frustrating things I’ve ever worked on. I am so thrilled though that the end is is sight! Finally!!! The chairs are all stained and ready for poly, I wanted to cut the plywood for the seats before I cleaned the garage out completely. Now that I  have those cut it’s time to blow the garage out and get a couple coats of poly on the wood. I bought the fabric for the cushions from Fabric.com and received it in the mail yesterday so I got started on the seats and got one finished before So You Think You Can Dance came one. I have priorities and I love this show. Today I’m hoping to finish the rest of the seats, how that I know what I want to do I don’t think it will take more than 30 mins to do each seat.

I’m doing 3 chairs with this green fabric and 3 chairs with the same pattern but in an aqua blue color. I can’t wait to get one of the blue ones done!!

Anyone have suggestions on what to spray on the fabric to protect it from stains. When N is home he comes home from work every day and sits at the table to take his boots off and I don’t want any grime from his nasty flight suits to rub off on my seats!

  4. Ann, I bought it on fabric.com, it's Waverly Lovely Lattice in Jungle Green. It's either 10 or 12 $ a yard and I did the 3 seats with 1 1/2 yards.
