I wasn't particularly fond of these bentwood chairs my husband Tom bought for a pittance at a local yard sale. But we needed some new chairs, and so they were put to use, brown naugahyde and all. I grew more accustomed to them around our dining table, and decided it was time for their makeover. I searched for and found a fabric that suited the chair, our house, and Tom (and me, of course). I did the first ones, and later involved my son in the effort. With fun tools such as vice grips, screwdriver, and staple gun, what's not to enjoy. And I love these chairs now around the table. I had to say no to my inner perfectionist who wanted to refinish the wood frames - they fit in well here with their bit of roughness......
