A Fresh Look

So... as much as I really don't like our dining set, I REFUSE to buy anything new and nice as long as my kids are still pounding on it and leaving fork prints on the top of the table. BUT... the seats on these chairs were seriously NASTY!! They were getting totally stained and I just couldn't stand it anymore. So I headed to JoAnn's to see if I could find some material that would tie the family room together with the kitchen, since they have the same colors. And here you go! All I ever need is a staple gun, duct tape, and/or caulk! ;)

Before:

During:

And After:

I did put a layer of the plastic covering on, too, even though the kids' legs stick to it sometimes. I'm sooooo excited to be able to just wipe them clean after a meal! Yay! And the colors match the brown couch and the reds and greens everywhere else perfectly! Now I just need to recover a few pillows, and we'll be all set!

And on a side note: Tonight I am STILL up because I had to make a cake for the Husky Hoedown tomorrow! It's the fall carnival/fundraiser at Lexi's school. I should really learn to just head to the store and buy one. Especially when I have "helpers" around. This thing totally fell apart, and is now just DRIPPING with frosting from trying to cover up all the breaks, mistakes, etc. Oh, well! It's just for a cake walk... I hope no one cares!
