I wanted to update these old chairs, which look a bit worn and dated. Also now that I have repainted and decorated the dining room, they don't really go with the rest of the room anymore...
So I took a trip to 'Rolls and Reems' in Lewisham which have a really good selection of fabrics, and got this lovely thick linen to use on the seats, (£8 per metre). I decided not to paint the chair as the wood is actually in pretty good condition. They were very easy to upholster, as the chair seat unscrews underneath, and you just use a staple gun to secure the fabric onto the seat. I pulled it quite tight before securing it on, so then you get a nice finish when you flip it over. Then after screwing the seat back in, I put a sheepskin rug over for some added comfort, and they're done! Scandinavian style heaven..
