We actually liked the green vinyl on the seats, but they had seen better days. So we disassembled the stools...
and cut the vinyl off the seats (plucking off a million rusty staples along the way)...
until they were ready for some new clothes.
We covered them in a vinyl we found at a local fabric store. And since my mom is handier than us with all things upholstery, I asked her to help us cover them.
It's a little hard to see from far away, but the fabric has this greenish cross-hatch pattern that drew us to it.
Finding the stools on Craigslist (for $70) and scoring the fabric from the bargain bin at a local fabric store definitely saved us some dough. We would have spent about $160 (not including shipping) if we had gone with the Target stools we were originally going to buy.
WOW! Beautiful job! What an inspiration!
