CHAIR CHANGE #2

This is a chair change of a slightly different ilk.  That's your word for the day- ilk. Now that I see it in print, it is a weird word, but the one that I want.

Frequently I post pictures of my "garden art" chairs.  These are old chairs that I find at thrift stores or garage sales that I remake into garden planters.  I tend to show off by posting every time the seasons change and I replant.

These chairs are different- they are inside chairs.  Chuck and I have had these two wooden oak counter stools for nearly 29 years.  In fact they were our very first furniture purchase after we bought this house.  Well, 29 years later, 3 kids and 30+ foster kids they have been trashed. They wobble, they creak, and they made me nervous to sit on because I thought the chair portion was going to snap right off the legs when I sat down on them. 

Long story short- I dumped 'em.  I found another set of counter swivel stools at the Goodwill for $15.00 for the pair. Unfortunately, the upholstery on the seats was a little worn. I recovered the seats and now I have counter stools that should last another 29 years.

Chuck thought the upholstery fabric I picked was old-fashioned, but I intended for my kitchen to be decorated in a "Tuscan" theme, so I thought the tapestry look fit right in.  You decide....
