True life at the kitchen table

My kitchen table is very important to me. Its where everyone comes together, the place where we talk, have coffee and make important decisions. When we first got married our kitchen table folded up (so did the chairs, only 3 of them, the 4th chair was broken) and rolled away :) Then we upgraded to a wonderful chocolate brown table with.... wait for it... 6 chairs!! You would of thought we had won the lottery! The chairs were covered in this tan microfiber suede. After a few years and a few kids this is what those chairs look like. Its not pretty. Its downright gross. True life~with kids. I've cleaned and cleaned them and it didn't seem to help.

I also discovered that my daughter had put stickers on the inside of one of the legs. Princess stickers anyone?

 I got tired of looking at the dirty seats and decided to take on a project. I found this home decor fabric at Joanne's. It was on sale! 2 yards and only 14.99, down from 10.99 a yard! We all know that home decor fabric can be so expensive, when I saw this I snatched it up!

 More true life-me ( sans makeup) doing my mommy thing and trying to be crafty at the same time. I stay busy.

The hardest part was using the scary air compressed staple gun. I just knew that I was going to hurt myself! Its how I roll! But surprisingly I didn't! Go me! Heres how they turned out....

I like! The chairs themselves still need to cleaned. And I'm off to buy a big bottle of scotch guard until my kids are spill proof.. How long will that be ya think? :)
