house stuff

Way back in the fall of last year I went to an auction and bought enough furniture to fill my house. Part of that furniture was a wrought iron and glass dinette. It had been used previously in someone's sunroom, but I thought it would be perfect for my deck.




Off white iron, white cushion. Kind of boring yes? Also, indoor fabrics.







Isn't it pretty? Off white like the iron, a shade of green I just adore, a pattern that compliments the wrought iron. A touch of brown to make it a bit more earthy.

It recovered beautifully




I haven't finished all of them so here's a before and after shot






Added up, I've spent about $80 on the whole thing. Not bad, huh?

Dang! How'd you do it? Pins? Sewing? *is awed by your skillz (and taste)*

LD, I have one for you:

staple gun

okay, so it's two, but still. Anytime you have a seat whose bottom is made of wood you can staple gun new fabric over it at anytime. It's a bit more difficult than it sounds because it's really a two man job, 'cause you've got to pull the fabric TIGHT and have the other person staple it, but it's SO worth it.

glad you like it!!
