Upholstering Project With Elizabeth

We took a trip to Arizona recently to visit with my brothers and sisters.  Then we spent some time with Elizabeth and her family in Mesa.  While there we embarked on an upholstery project.

She had 2 upholstered kitchen chairs that had seen better days.  Then she lucked into a lot of material (probably used to be a swag drape) in a color that matched her drapes and one wall in the kitchen for a ridiculously small amount of money.

We started removing the old material and within a day had a beautiful upholstered purple chair.  We had a lot of fun, got pretty tired, but felt so successful it was worth it.  She is going to scotchguard it and move it into use at the table so they will now have enough large chairs for all the big people (now that Adam is a big people).  She still has Danielle in the high chairs. 
 

She still has another chair to do but that was enough work for one
day.  In this picture you can see the other chair next to the finished one.  Next time I go over we may do the other chair.  Then she plans to redo the seats on the wooden chairs, covering them with the purple and then the plastic.

A very gratifying day, and good fun together.
