Makeover: Yard Sale Bar Stools

Before:

I got 5 of these, they are metal with cushion seats. I love them!

After:

Is that shiny (cleanable) tacky vinyl on the seats? You bet! I have already cleaned catsup, rice and orange juice off of them! I'm SO happy!

Jen, you never cease to amaze! Great find and such fast work. They would still be in my van...you are the best!

Was it a hard project? I love them, how did you do it? I have some things to recover, and I need to learn how.

Jenny said...

Great work! I have Traci's hand-me-down stools I still need to get spiffed up!

Those are fab Miss Jen! You have such a sense of style. And I'm all for the shiny vinyl! Sometimes cleanable overrules tacky!

Bonnie said...

Jen you are killing me with your creativeness! I must say you ROCK!!! I love those, they turned out fabulous. You have a way too cool creative sense. I bet you could turn anything into a wonderful something with your fabulous touch!

Dying here to know how cheap you got them for! I would have been second guessing myself for the shiny until the ketchup incident--brilliant!

I just re-did my upholstered kitchen chairs and I WISH I had put plastic on them, lol. I did, smartly go with a dark color though, so that is helpful. I love your stools, very practical!!! :)

There are two chairs at a thrift shop for $5 that I want and you've inspired me even more to go get them and redo!

VERY smart! We have microfiber on every surface of our lives and that wipes off like a charm tool.

Nice job! Thanks for sharing. Nancy

You are a girl after my own heart. I have been planning to buy a jumbo sheet of that vinyl to cover my table. I ruin every table cloth with some stain or another right after I wash it!

Oh I love the shiny vinyl. It reminds me of my childhood. My parents always had plastic on our hallway floors to spare the carpet. Good work on those seats!
