My President's Day Project

My table and chairs are 9 years old. I can't wait to purchase a new set but have decided to wait. The set has been good but the wood is soft, they just don't make things the way they use to. So my kids, will continue to carve their names and alphabet into the table top, every time they do their homework. To make me feel better, I tell myself that it adds character... right??? I also have been tossing the idea around to paint it all black. My only fear is that the paint won't adhear to the table and chip off as the kids do their homework. The chairs have had one too many cups of milk spilled on them. So I decided to recover the chair cushions to spruce everything up!
Brighton is always a good little helper! She helped me remove staples from the old cushions.

It is amazing what a difference a new piece of fabric can do! Hancock Fabric was having a 50% off decorator fabric last Sat. and so I recovered 6 chairs for $21.00!
