before and after


Britt's grandmother gave us a gorgeous table and chairs to match that she used back-in-the-day. We are using the table as a desk and now have chairs "floating" all around the house. When Anna Maria Horner's "Drawing Room" fabric came out, I wanted any excuse to get my hands on the gorgeous textiles. I decided we must recover the chairs. Britt and I covered 4 in this teal print. (It ironically resembles the original fabric, but oh well)

Then we were left with 2 to cover in this beautiful "sketch book" print. These are in the dining room.

I love this fabric so much that i would consider wallpapering my walls with it. You can't help but smile when you see all of those bright colors!

Now the question is what to do about the chair color. I don't really want to go through the trouble of painting them, but that wood is a bit dark don't you think?
