Reupholstering done!!

We picked up these bar stools online when we built the new kitchen island. Only back then, they were covered with a lighter brown vinyl cover. Over the years, they started splitting, exposing the batting underneath. It was time to re-cover these darned things.

We finally were able to head to Joann's to pick out some new fabric for the seats. I liked a nice cinnamon fabric - simple and did the job. But I was eventually persuaded to pick up the embossed alligator print. I must admit, it looks pretty nice. We were fortunate enough to get the fabric at 50% off provided an instant coupon I got when using the Android application.

When we pulled apart the stools, I wasn't expecting the sheer number of staples that were holding the old covers on. I wanted to be thorough, so I tried to pull out all of the staples. Tammy tried the quick route and just cut off the existing cover. Given the amount of time it took for me to remove all of the staples - I conceded and we proceeded to do the rest of the stools Tammy's way :)

A few recorded shows later - the stools are done. Hopefully the covers last a bit longer. They should - the fabric is pretty thick.
