A fresh new look

Yesterday, I got the bright idea that I would run into town and grab a canvas drop cloth and recover my dining room chairs. In blogland, everyone is using this drop cloth at Home Depot that it fantastic!! They are using them as curtains, recovering chairs, the possibilities are endless.  I thought that I really wanted to try it out as well.  I’m so glad that I did.  I only used less than half of the material for all six chairs.  It goes a long way.  Now, if one of my children have an accident and spills.  It’s okay.  I’ve got more.  One of the plugs for me using this product it that its washable, its thick and would look great.  I really didn’t know what I was getting myself into but I do like the change.  It’s not drastic or anything but it feels calmer than what we had before.  I couldn’t believe how much I loved the material.  I started off doing only two chairs.  I really didn’t know if I wanted to invest more time and do all the chairs because it really wasn’t a drastic change.  I’m glad that I did all of them now.  I love it.  So are you ready to see the difference?????

Okay you are crafty too!!! The chairs look great!!! Did leave the old covers on under the drop cloth cover? That is such a great idea. I have not ever heard of that before. I think I am going to have to check out some of your crafty sites. Oh I need to e-mail you the coupon web site. I will do that right now.
