Well friends my chairs are finally finished and I could not be happier! After looking at PB, Home Depot, and Lowes I found a perfect rug at Target. It matches the one on the other side of my living room really well and it was pretty reasonable.
I put together a How To for Houzz on this whole project that will be published in a few weeks. So for now, here is the after.
I moved some things around and decided that they would be pretty in front of the window. It's getting there, I'd love to find an ottoman that I can slip cover and maybe that pretty tufted sofa? We'll see, I'll have to save my pennies!
Just in case you missed it, the chairs before.
A little improvement, don't you think? I'll let you know when the How To goes up on Houzz if you're interested in seeing the whole process.
Thanks for visiting!

Ohhhh Susan, you put together the loveliest rooms! Those chairs look amazing. And I love your pink tulips in that pitcher against the beautiful wood tones of your table. xo ~Lili

Great chairs! Saw the afters first, as that's how they are listed then thought to myself "These are lovely- how bad could they have been to start with?? Couldn't have been too bad!" Read down and saw the befores and then I told myself "Oh yeah.....worse!"
Awesome make over!
Thanks for sharing with us :D

I am supposed to be working on a similar chair as I am typing this... but am procrastinating by looking at yours! They are lovely and I hope mine turns out half as nice!
