New desk and a sneak peak

We have a new mid-century modern desk in the booth at Midland! It is from 1965. Here's a picture of it in the booth:

The chair had an ugly fabric on it before, so we decided to reupholster. I bought the fabric that is on it now at Joann's. My local Joann's was moving to another location, so they were having a sale to get rid of extra merchandise. I snatched this fabric up because of it's great weave and texture. Here's how we reupholstered it.

Materials needed: Screwdriver, fabric, nice stapler or hand held staple gun.

Step 1: Unscrew the cushion from the chair, by flipping the chair over.

Step 2: Cut out a piece of your fabric that is about 2 inches bigger than the cushion on each side.

Step 3: Flip the cushion over and put the fabric under it.

Step 4: Fold one side over and start stapling with a staple gun.

Step 5: Fold the corners so that they look tidy on the other side and keep stapling until finished.

Step 6: Flip the pad over and screw it back onto the chair. Voila you have a reupholstered chair pad!

We are pretty excited about this fabulous find. Here is a sneak peak of something else we are working on. Shhh don't tell anyone that we showed you! It's an antique dresser that we are staining.

We will have the after pictures soon, I promise! Stay tuned :)
