About 3 years ago one of my dad's friends told us he could get some chairs from Red Lobster that they were getting rid of. Each chair was like $10 and we thought it was a great deal! We would just recover them and they would be as good as new. Plus we only had 4 chairs and they were starting to break because "people" kept rocking back in them. :)
Anyway, we still have the chairs. They have not been recovered and they look so bad we are embarrassed to have people (besides family) over for dinner.
BUT...
We have finally started to work on them!!! We have all the supplies and we have 1 chair completed! Each chair has about 100 (not an exaggeration) staples in it that we have to take out - which is why we only completed one. It takes about 2-3 hrs. to take all the staples out and recover the seat - it is quite a process. We are hoping to complete this little project soon so we can have dinner guests over!
Here is our one completed chair:
Please "oh" and "ah" to motivate us to the do rest :)

Ohhhhhh, Ahhhhhh!
Seriously, though, I love the ingenuity and "can do" attitude that you got from your mom. I'll never forget when she re-caned a chair.
Aw thanks Mer! You have motivated me to do another on this weekend!
Like Mother, Like daughter. Your mom always amazed me at what she could do and now you are showing that talent. SUPER
Sorry Mer and Steph, I didn't pass anything like that on to you.
