When my parents bought their new house a couple of years ago, it came with a round kitchen table and chairs. The style of this set was a bit…well, not my parents’ taste. It had a hand painted country motif…eck. But my mother is very handy and she has really improved these chairs with a just little paint and fabric.

To fix up a chair like this is actually pretty easy. For tips on painting furniture, check out my recent post on the subject.  And reupholstering a removable seat cushion is very straightforward and a great project for someone new to reupholstering. Check out this article for directions.

Thanks for the DIY inspiration Mom!
