One project down

Remember how I said in this post that our chairs were still bottomless? Well, they are no more. We finally finished recovering them.

We happened to have some fabric on hand from an old curtain project that worked perfectly. This was our first time recovering chairs, and it was harder than we thought. The finished product is anything but perfect (we aren't Young House Love here), but much better than before. Now people will actually have a place to sit! Here's hoping the chairs hold up and don't fall apart on any guests!
