WE USED AN OLD SHOWER CURTAIN TO RECOVER THESE OLD CHAIRS!!

6 Materials
View materials (6)
We love to repurpose items we found on the curve! We found this old set buy a
dumpster. It was kind of a mess and needed paint and material. We are on a tight
budget. About the shower curtain pictures about five years ago. It was in my
daughter's bathroom and had a few stains on it. However I love the material.
When we went to redo the material on the new chairs repainted my husband had a
lightbulb moment. We wash the shower curtain really good cut it in the areas
that had no stains and it came out amazing. We even used a clear shower curtain
liner to cover the material.



We start by cleaning the chairs. We sanded and repaired some areas on the chair
that were chipped. Then we used Bullseye 1 2 3 primer as we always do. We then
painted it with a creamy off-white color. Let it dry lightly distressed. Then we
always seal it with polycrylic top coat.

Here's the shower curtain before we cut it up for material.

You made sure that pattern had no stains on it.

We then used a brand new shower curtain liner to cover the material for
protection. We have an eight-year-old and let's be honest she likes to spill
half of her dinner on the chairs :)


All done!!




Here is the set all together!!!

   I love it!! You did a great job. I recently covered some bar stools. I so
   wish I had seen this before I may have to take apart and cover over with
   liner...my grandchildren make a mess too! I don’t want to read all the
   comments,so I’m going to ask my question (😁) what color is the table? I love
   it.

   you did an amazing job!
   
   If you painted the table, what did you use to seal the tabletop?
   
   is it a hard surface, or sticky?

   That’s amazing! Love it! Thanks for sharing. I have all wooden chairs and put
   cushions on them but don’t seem to help. Any ideas?

   I used stain resistant table cloths in a different way...I found a beautiful
   cloth for indoor outdoor dining and turned it into a shower curtain. It could
   also be made into seat covers and matching table runner. I have enough left
   from the shower curtain to make a valance somewhere else or for a bathroom
   window. Got the tablecloth at an outlet store.
