Dining Room Fabric At Last!

May 25, 2011 by Courtney 24 Comments

At long last I have finally made up my mind about the chairs in my dining room. First of all, I want you to know that I poured over every comment and literally tallied up almost 80 opinions to see what my readers thought. You all have good taste! So here are the top three choices from my readers {original post here}: Number Three:

Number Two:

Number One Reader Choice:

And I have officially decided to go with this fabric for my dining room chairs:

So technically my readers called this one, however I found this “Jungle Green” color that I fell in love with. In fact, I first spied this color over at Wilma Long in her Etsy shop Decorative pillow cover Designer 12x18 floral basket cotton throw pillow   I ordered the Waverly Lovely Lattice pillow knowing it would go great in my living room. As soon as I opened it and threw it on the couch I was in love. But then I tossed it on top of one of my dining room chairs and I was sold. I can’t wait to recover them in this fabric. The quality of the pillow cover I ordered is FANTASTIC! Truly. I so appreciate a hidden, well sewn zipper and soft gorgeous fabric backing the pillow. I highly recommend this shop and plan to purchase more pillows from Wilma Long. Here are some more of her lovely pillows: Decorative pillow cover Designer fabric 20x20inch Brown Blue throw pillowDecorative pillow cover Designer fabric 20x20inch Brown Blue throw pillowDesigner pillow cover 20x20 Robert Allen printed cotton-Huge floral design throw pillow Decorative Designer pillow cover Robert Allen 22x22inch throw cushion cover IkatDecorative pillow cover Robert Allen designer 18x18 throw pillow cushion coverWaverly pillow cover Designer decorative 18x18 sofa cushion Fretwork pattern cotton Mist So my three year old little helper trotted off to Home Depot with me today to gather new sand paper and paint so that the chairs can finally get their make over! I have ordered the Waverly Lovely Lattice and am excited to give my chairs new life! …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. Head on over to Carmel’s blog Our Fifth House where I am sharing three fun things I have learned from blog land and use often! I have fallen for Carmel and her blog so I am excited about guest posting over there today! our fifth house

    I saw you mention printables – does anyone have a good recommendation for a color printer that'll hold up after all the printable crafts?

    The chairs will look beautiful covered in that fabric. I used the same pattern in blue to cover an ottoman, it's a fun pattern and will add a nice touch to your room.

    I found your blog through Our Fifth House and I love the poms – I might try to use them for my daughter's first birthday party in August. And I really LOVE the fabric that you chose – love the color love the trellis print.
