My mom had these chairs and table at her house and for a couple of Summers now we have wanted to make chair covers for them so we decided that this Memorial Day would be the perfect opportunity to make them.
My dad and Steve measured and cut the wood to fit in the chair. We then bought thick batting and outdoor fabric to cover the wood.
We pulled the material around the batting and wood and stapled to the back.
And voila! We kept the chairs old and rusted looking for a vintage feel.
The B.B. stands for Brooke Bartholomew (a mouthful, I know). "Bibelot" was a tribute to the years I lived in France. Over a decade ago I began this blog because I was going to boutique shows and selling my homemade baby blankets, burp cloths and Mommy & Me crystal bracelets. After a few years of trying the boutique'ing scene I closed shop, but kept the blog. It was fun to have a place to share all of my random projects. Liz Stanley (Say Yes) and Susan Petersen (Freshly Picked) are the two gals who introduced me to the joys of blogging over a decade ago in the Avenues, SLC. It was fun to be a part of the entire process, their skill and creativity left me in awe and inspired this blog. Currently, this blog is a mod-podge of craft projects, home improvement projects, random opinions and soap box moments. This blog seems to change along with the various changes of our family life, but there will always be a craft or home improvement project sprinkled in here somewhere because I love a good project.
