We found this at the local Salvos and picked up the lot for only $250. Sturdy chairs, no chips etc etc. This is it in her dining corner of her rather open plan living/dining area.
The next SOS my cousin sent me was this past Wednesday... to help her re-cover the chairs in time for her house warming do next weekend. So we popped over to Spotlight for some fabric... and got to work with my staple gun.
This is what the lounge area looks like (just so you get an idea of the entire room)..
The chairs before:
Recovering her chairs seats weren't easy because they had these corners! So took longer than expected.
My husband posing ... actually he was great help. This is him doing the last chair (I did the previous 5) and declared a rest.
And this is the result, just before being served a thank-you-so-much-you-guys-rock dinner of some buttery-soft steak and morrocan spice roast vegies, yum!
I wanted the area to look as nice as possible... so I insisted her pictures be hung... that large beautiful one is painted by her talented father.
It's not finished though. I'd love her to gather a small collection of bright yellow vases/holders... for her centrepiece for a pop colour... and perhaps some small plants for her window sill...
We've also been scouring ebay australia for a dinner service. My cousin's eclectic... so she's been fancying a retro dinner service. So the journey to a great place to live continues!
