Chairs with a new look

I've been working on this chair for a long time.

My sweet husband (boyfriend at the time) and I first recovered it in college,

then after we'd been  married a while I fixed a bit because it was kind of falling apart.

But then it started falling apart again, so I decided something needed to be done.

I found some video tutorials on how to make a slipcover, so I decided to try them out 

(I think I blogged about that before),

the last month or so I've been working on.

It isn't perfect by any means, but I think for my first attempt at a slipcover, it turned out pretty well.

 I finished it last night.

Then I worked on a glider rocker we have.

After I fell in love with our fabric for the second bedroom roman shades,

I decided I would use the left over fabric to recover the glider.

So I did that last night.

I used this tutorial, and it was pretty easy!

I mean I did it all last night, and I'm not usually one that can whip out an entire project in one day.

They both look so much better now,

trust me because I forgot to take before pictures... lol.
