"I Have Run, I Have Crawled, I Have Scaled These City Walls..."

And after nearly a YEAR of searching, (really...estate sales, craigslist-daily, ebay, garage sales, newspaper ads, ...everywhere) I have FINALLY found what I'm looking for!!!

25 bucks.
I LOVE THEM.
I will love them more when I learn how to reupholster and cover them in THIS.
Yummy.

I don't know about yummy? Those chairs look prefect in their natural color and the best color anyone could choose to begin with. You just can't beat RED! Ask any Fireman and he will tell when you've had Red, well there is no going back to the old stuff. And Black and cream? Come on!

Love
Dad
PS Ask Aaron he help you out here. Stay with the professionally manufacture and Professionally choosen RED.

ooh, fun! Love the fabric. Where are you going to learn to reupholster? I'd love to learn as well. I know they teach classes at some big fabric stores. Can't wait to see the finished product!

GREAT shape, fab chairs cant wait to see them recovered.

yeah they look like that orange carpet/furniture that use to be in every church in the late 70s early 80's...rusty organge!

I actually really love the color, it just doesn't match my living room decor. The chairs are only a few years old, my friend bought them from I.O. Metro...but she's ready to redecorate!

The color would be great if it weren't for the 'other color of red' sofa and chair they share a room with.

Let me know when you are ready to tackle. I want to learn how to reupholster, too!

Natalie said...

WOW. You can reupholster too?? You're a superstar.

And, what a STEAL! Can't wait to see how they turn out...

Yeah, the current color reminds me of our church bldg growing up. Remember that nasty orange carpet going up the walls? Barf
