*Cute new cushions*

BEFORE



AFTER







My latest project has been re-covering my cushions on my kitchen chairs. My great-uncle gave us his old table and chairs earlier this last summer. We were in need of a bigger table with our growing family and it has suited us just perfect! It has this awesome leaf that folds down and stores in the table.
I really liked the back of the chairs when I got them, they are different than anyother I have seen.
But the cushions just HAD to go. (can you see the fringe?)
So I found some cute material at Home Fabrics in Boise and finally went to work on it.
After making one cushion, I realized I had to be honest with myself: I would most likely not want to cover them again anytime soon, I would most likely never want to take them off to wash,
and they were going to get dirty no matter what I did. So I decided to cover the cushions with vinyl.
I think that once they've been spilt on 5 times in one day...I will be glad I did the vinyl!
With 3 little kids - we love wipe-able surfaces. I think it's going to work out just GREAT! :)
