Reupholster challenge

I picked these winged-backed babies up at Goodwill, or the "G-dub", as my husband and I lovingly refer to it, for around fifteen bucks a few months ago:

Please ignore the odd decore between them, I tend to move things around a lot, and the white tray ended up there. :)

   So, there they sit, in front of our bay window in our living room. I loooove the curvy legs. I am probably going to have hubster (Chad) sand, and finish them in a dark mahogany. But, as you will probably agree, they are HIDEOUS! Down right u-g-l-y. I plan to do something about that. I have purchased some drop cloths from Home Depot (yup, I said drop cloths!) and I am going to reupholster them in that simple, earthy canvas. I have a feeling they are going to be amazing! I will keep you updated on the progress. I'm thinkin' this may take me a while. Here are some close-ups, just incase you were thinking "wait, those aren't so ugly."





This one didn't smell so nice. I really had to bust out the Lysol on it







This is going to be so rewarding once I can stand back and look at my creation. Don't ya just love that feeling?
