Yes, that's vinyl. Which apparently is making a come back , according to the prices on Ebay and Etsy. One of my friends spotted both pieces behind some larger furniture. I missed them. I was just going to upcycle a stool ( seemed much easier).
After our ladies lunch, that same friend suggested that we look at drapes to cover the chairs. Definitely a more inexpensive way to go. Some fabrics by the yard can really add up. With the help from the four ladies, we decided on this one.
After a trip to JoAnne Fabrics with my teenage son who was so bored on this rainy day that he chose to tag along with me to buy batting and upholstery nails. ( Love that kid!)
And off I went...
Upholstery nails are amazing! They made this job so easy! I actually prefer the way the back of the chair looks more than the front.
After tacking the back, painting the legs gray, I was getting close to being done.
Had to throw in another picture of the one that's left. Sorry mid-century mod lovers...
Not my style :(
Vinyl that is.
What I fun project. I went antiquing with a different friend the day after purchasing these and found some inspiration at some really quaint shops. Cheers to creativity and great friends. Now, where am I going to put these??
