Easy Bar Stool Makeover

Happy Thursday, crafters! I hope you have lots of crafty plans for today.

DIY upholsteryUsually Thursdays are reserved for giveaways, but with all the giveaways last week, I thought I would do a little catching up instead today. Because I realized that I never posted about my craft room bar stools when I revealed my new digs. Darn! So I’m sharing them with you today because they’re kinda cute!

To save money while decorating my room, I gave a pair of old bar stools that we owned a face lift. {nothing beats thrifting at your own house, right?}

I upholstered them using this easy upholstering tutorial. {after adding upholstery to my dining room chairs, i got into an “Upholstery Kick” and did these stools and a bench last fall} I used 1″ thick foam and some quality home decor fabric made by Waverly in a modern floral print.

upholstered chairsI did the corners differently than the tutorial because I finally figured out how to do the box corners. And oh my, box corners look so clean and professional! I think that’s the corner method I’m going to use for future upholstery projects. {yes, i just might already be plotting one}

If you haven’t seen my Craft Room, run over and check it out!

{Have you done any upholstery projects?}
