Last Summer I posted about some new upholstery items that were delivered to the house.  In that delivery where our dining room chairs.  With all of the holiday entertaining we did, I was able to really put these chairs to the test, and couldn’t be more pleased.

 We inherited my parent’s dining room set a few years ago.  I loved the table and tried for so long to make the chairs work, but they were just SO not me.  I needed something on the cheap.  Enter Home Decorator’s Collection.

I bought 3 sets of these

Covered the fronts in this inexpensive faux ostrich leather.  So great with kids!

and of course, added brass nailheads.

I finished the backs in this cross section print from L & S Fabrics.

Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too?  I got the fabric that I love and a kid-friendly dining chair all in one!

By the way, the ostrich fabric holds up fantastically.  I was able to wipe off multiple DRIED red wine stains off of these chairs over the holidays.  Not a trace of wine now!
