Getting Handy

So on our day off from the 4th, we decided to get a little crafty.  We recently bought a beautiful new dining room set (1).  The wood was in good condition. However the flowered cushions (2), looked horrible a tad bit dated.  Mr. MedSchool, the Handyman himself, decided, we could fix these ourselves (3).

So we trek to Hobby Lobby to pick out new cushion fabric, sans flowers.  Once we arrive home Mr. Medschool pulls out the tool kit and begins to take the chair apart (4).

First we unscrewed the base from the seats

Then we took the old fabric off of the cushion and bottom board and wrapped them in the new fabric.  Then we took our handy dandy staple gun (5), and stapled the fabric to the bottom board.

Soon Voila, a beautiful new chair (6).

Now only 5 more to do.



1. Thank God for Craig's List
2. What great style we had in 1995
3. And I begin looking on Craig's List for more chairs b/c the chances of us having chairs with cushions after this event is over is slim
4. It's okay, I found a set of 4 on Craig's List already ...
5. Because it wouldn't be a project, if we didn't have to buy a new tool
6. And 0 broken chair legs
