Chairs

I got these chairs from a garage sale, and decided to fix them up a bit. I finally finished one of them, but I was a little lazy about sanding the white paint off, so it's a little bumpy under the new paint. Therefore, I need to work a little harder on chair number 2, so it's not done yet.

Before:
After:

The fabric is Amy Butler - I absolutely LOVE it, and I bought enough that I can still make something else - maybe a bag! After all was said and done, the chairs ended up being kind of expensive, but everything I bought I can use again, so I guess I will just have to find more projects like this one!

You did a fantastic job! AMAZING! I can't wait to see them in person. Why so expensive??? I thought the chairs were free.
