I bet you guys thought I forgot, right?
Without further adieu, here are our newly recovered dining room chairs!
As you can see, I went with the turquoise peacock and I am in love! (And I bought the last yardage they had – yikes!!)
I think it’s a pretty good upgrade from the seat cushions that came along with the antique dining set (wink wink):
Weren’t those lovely?
I have to give a shout out to my new best friend, the PowerShot Pro – it doesn’t have the best reviews, but for under 30 buckeroos I’m not complaining! It certainly made the job of stapling in the new fabric about ten thousand times faster than doing it by hand.
I’m really loving the combo of turquoise, chocolate brown and olive-y green. I’m hoping to bring out a bit more of the turquoise through accessories like lamps and maybe some DIY artwork. I’m excited to see how it (eventually) turns out! (P.S. Aren’t those candlesticks awesome?!?)
And I’m not the only one that’s loving the new chairs – here’s my fat kitty, Riley, giving the fabric a little snuggle before I recovered the chairs.
What do you guys think? Did I pick the right fabric? Got any suggestions for drawing in some new turquoise accents?

Looks absolutely fabulous! The candlesticks are the perfect complement to your wonderful new seat fabric. What about something turquoise on your sideboard, or some aqua (ie, turquoise) crystal pendants hanging from your silver chandelier? Love your kitty!
WOW! IT LOOKS AMAZING!, GREAT JOB!
OMG! I LOVE IT! I have been wondering which fabric you were going to go with…how crazy is that? And this one, of course, was my absolute favorite. It looks stunning in your room, and yes, those candle holders are fabulous too. I have no suggestions for other turquoise accents, but can’t wait to see what you come up with! Great job Liz! Love it!
looks great! beautiful pattern
It’s gorgeous!!! Such a great choice! As always, great job Liz!!
I did think you forgot! lol
It turned our so nice! I love it! the pattern looks so delicate against the dark chairs and awesome rug!
The fabric is beautiful – loving the green drapes and zebra on the rug as well!
YAY! That was my pick as well. It looks perfect.
Something with a VerdiGris finish might look swell in that room:

Or you could just wear lots of gorgeous turquoise jewelry to all your dinner parties!
