Drab 2 Fab: Dining Room Extra Seating

My Grandma found two dining room chairs for SIX bucks a piece at a Goodwill in Memphis. She knew I could do something with them, so bought them and brought them to me. Here they are all drabby:

I have a very large dining room, and until I can afford that $900 china cabinet at Ashley's Furniture (yea, it's gonna be awhile) I had to find some stuff to fill up the room. The red dresser was a great piece but still didn't fill the room.

On a shopping trip with my BFF, Tabatha, we ran into Hancocks to check out the massive sale they had been advertising. I didn't have alot of money so didn't plan to buy anything UNTIL I spotted this material and the price tag. It was on sale for $2.00 a yard. That is CRAZY cheap for upholstery fabric. I knew I needed about 3-4 yards to reupholster those chairs and all that was left was 4 yards of this fabric. I knew, it was fate. So, for $8.00 I bought the fabric and brought it home.  Here it is:

I didn't like how they had fabric down the legs. I figured there had to be some wood underneath it, so I got my razor blade out and started cutting. And, I was right.

It was way too cold out to do this project outside, so I cut up a big box that one of Khloe's toys came in and started staining the legs.

Next up, reupholstering. I, of course, used my handy-dandy Electric Stapler. LOVE that thing!

It only took me about 3 hours for this project. I think I will go back and add a few more layers of stain just to get them a tad darker to match my dining room table, but overall I'm super happy at how they turned out!   
 Total cost: TWENTY Bucks!!
