reupholstery inc.

so saturday brandon and i ventured down to the fabric district in downtown LA, searching for some lovely fabric to redo our dining room chairs. this is something we've been meaning to do for approximately the past 22 months -- our dining room set is pretty nice, but as we purchased it pre-marriage for $25 at a garage sale we were sure to have a few issues to deal with. (although it does help having a beat up table when i do things like hammer the top of it while crunching peppermint candy for the first annual wells cookie exchange. whoops.)

issue number one being the dirty abstract covering the chairs came with (how we waited almost two years to do this, i will never know). grosssss:



we went from that to this:





so much prettier, don't you think? it actually matches the rest of my house now. it was super easy too -- i'm very good at any crafts involving a staple gun. basically brandon and i are ready to open up shop -- we love working on home-related items together. sign up now to get the wells family reupholstery special!

Um, impressive. No sewing involved! Great work. You really should open shop. They look great! I love buying furniture from garage sales.
