Wow, Gracie, good job! That is looking really beautiful.

Nice. That fabric would look perfect with my new area rug. Where'd you get it?

Thanks for the step-by-step visual with instructions for all us that need that kind of help.

Looking forward to Part 2. Gorgeous end result.

That looks great. Could you do this with an upholstered chair? I have an old one I'd love to work on but know nothing about upholstering. Could I put foam on top of the old stuffing?

Anyway, yours looks like a million dollars.

I love that chair. The last pic is so "Ta-da!" What a great job. It looks so nice. What stain did you use?

Excellent, and you did pay meticulous attention the the pattern, Well Done!
May I share for others that may want to try, There is Foam and then there is Quality Foam. I learned about this when redoing our motorhome. You can use hobby foam if comfort is not important or if you want long lasting comfort, go to a foam store and feel the difference. They will also very neatly cut it to size with professional machinery. This is so helpful if you need shart straight crisp cuts. All that I bought years ago for hard use is still supportively comfortable. It was worth every dollar to invest in great quality foam and do it right once.
What brand product did you use on your wood, your results are fabulous! Those chairs are truely ReBorn! Love the mantle tops!

That is gorgeous! Great photos. I could almost do this from following the photos alone. Did you have to refinish the wood before you started?

Terrific job! The fabric is a perfect fit for the chairs! I also want to know what product you used to finish the chairs.

Great job! And I love that fabric! Is the fabric print gray or brown? I'm asking because I saw a beautiful Robert Allen fabric today in gray that would be gorgeous made up in window treatments for a dining room.

Thanks everyone for your kinds words. I bought the fabric from Jo Ann's (50 percent off). It's from Christopher Lowell's line. Here is a better picture with the colors showing more "true".

I used a minwax gel stain in dark walnut. I also had to fill some gouges first. When I was done I used Formby's tung oil to make it shine. I will show more pieces of the set when I can get my DH & son to put them in the DR. Then I'll need help with drapes & paint, if you all would be so kind.

bodica gave some good info. Foam can be purchased in different densities and thicknesses. gracie, you did a wonderful job.

Very lovely! What beautiful work. And love the fabric--great find! Can you come and do my dining room next? :)

Thanks Bodica for the foam info. These chairs won't be used often, but if I need foam for my LR chairs I'll check out an uphostery shop.

Wow gracie! You go girl. I've always loved paisley, it's timeless.

You did a beautiful job, and I really like the look of the chair I'm glad to see you rescuing that set.

Those are gorgeous. Gives me hope for my ugly DR chairs.

Great job, they really look like a million bucks now!
