Burlap It

I bought two chairs from Habitat for Humanity a loooong time ago and they have collected dust in our garage since. Seeing that I got the both of them for $5, I wasn't too concerned about getting to them.

Here is one of them before the makeover. Ugly but had potential. They were NASTY so required lots of scrubbing, sanding and more scrubbing. Painting was the easy part.

Of course it was difficult to refinish the chairs with "Princess Needy" in the way.

The finished, weathered-looking product. I recovered the cushions with burlap, my new favorite material. The cushions are not perfect, I need to work on them some more but they will do for now. I'm no perfectionist so I'm not too concerned.

Here they are together.

I'm very happy with how they turned out.

Still on the subject of burlap, I got new burlap lamps for the green cookbook shelves in breakfast nook. It's hard to see the one on the left but it has a chicken on it.
