Just Another Reupholstering Chair Day

There is tonnes of snow on the ground and close to minus 30! 
 Brutal Saskatchwan, Brutal.


So as I always say -- When life throws you snow, reupholster chairs.

I got these beauties both for $10 from a wonderful lady on Kijiji. 




Unfortunately, they were pretty ugly and stained.


 So I ripped off the fabric, while wearing a nose plug the whole time.  They reeked of the 1950s. 

I was left with this lovely base - patched several times and the stuffing worn so much 
you could see through it.

I bought some foam and traced out the shape of the base on it. and cut it with an exacto knife. Fun! 


I staple gunned the material to the base over the foam and base the same way I did my other chairs.  
Then I flipped em over and screwed them back into the frame.




And there she blows.  May have to stain the back too... although I do like the worn look.  
What do you think? Should I stain the frame as well?
