Because my husband and I don't shop and we have totally procrastinated on getting dining room chairs we have been using a pair of old office chairs as dining chairs and I'm finally sick of them.
While he was out of town on business, I tore one of them apart and stripped and finished the wood and ripped the upholstery off the backs and seats. Now I have to put new upholstery on and I've gotten a couple of books from the library. Most of what is in there is Greek......the terms don't make sense unless you know upholstery.
Has anyone here done it themselves? Any tips, hints, suggestions? Other than getting it done professionally......I can't afford that.
