My dining room table and chairs are finished, and I'm in animal print love! Thank you so much for all your compliments and comments on my table and chairs dilemma...to keep them red, paint them, or change out the fabric?
My first stop was the local upholstery shop which had tons of gorgeous fabric samples hanging all over the place. I found a yummy chenille there, but at $34 a yard I knew I needed to take that as inspiration and look elsewhere. JoAnn's had a nice option for $20 a yard, but I wanted to do better than that...and I did.
I finally found the perfect zebra chenille at Weavers on the Web Fabric & Trim. They have an ebay store and online store as well with very low prices and excellent service. I ended up paying $9.95 a yard with $4.95 shipping. You can't beat that!
I love them, my husband (who hates all things animal print) loves them, and they pass the toddler test...although I do throw a hand towel over his seat when we're eating just in case :)
My final decision was to change out the fabric, which was a common suggestion y'all had. I went on the hunt big time for the perfect zebra print chenille in black and cream to match the newly painted table and I think I hit the nail on the head.

Ps. I need to pull a little animal print into my home and not sure how to do it.
Yep, I'm doin the hand towel thing myself (as we speak!). Love the animal print - very snazzy, and goes great in the room.

Way to go, Hayley!
love love love it! Question: I saw you spray painted your table- did you prime it first? sand it down? what type of spray paint did you use? how many cans did it take? I know a lot of questions but i just have to know- cuz it looks AMAZING!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey looks fabulous!!!!! Love the zebra! Jen
ReplyDeletethey look so good!
ReplyDeleteI love your table/chairs makeover. I had to laugh at your profile comment about "your obsession with spraypaint". Ah...kindred spirits.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is awesome!

Hayley, those are just adorable! You know how I feel about zebra print anyway. I'm going to add this to my new Tumbler page.
ReplyDeleteThe zebra looks great with the red! So Spicy! The green creeper plant in the first picture on my blog is Creeping Jenny. It is wonderful. It spreads relatively quickly and is a great ground cover. Also, in the winter it turns burgandy. You'll not regret planting it!
ReplyDeleteI discovered your blog today ... you are so creative! I LOVE the zebra cushions.. so fun!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this! Now I've gotta figure out how to convince my husband that this is just what we need!
ReplyDeleteAren't zebra prints just so much fun?! They look great.
ReplyDeleteI love the zebra print with the red chairs! It looks great!!!
