DIY with Greystone: Upholstery Update!

Recovering dining room chairs is a simple, inexpensive and quick way to update any dining room décor. Using only basic tools and about 3/4 yards of fabric per chair, this easy project can be completed by even the most inexperienced DIYer.

If you're starting from scratch, find a set of chairs with good bones. These beautiful mahogany chairs have beautiful, simple lines, so we knew they would be an easy revamp!

Next, chose a fabric that works for you! We went with a very neutral, yet elegant, look. We chose this particular fabric to accentuate the feminine design of the chair's cabriole legs and fiddleback. Plus, this pattern against rich mahogany is absolutely stunning!

What a difference!
