chair upholstery project

Does anyone remember these chairs from my posts way back here and here? So long ago! Almost 2 years ago we started working on them at our old apartment...

But then we moved and life go really busy!
Well, I decided they would be the perfect chairs to use in our booth at Quilt Market, so a few weeks ago we dusted them off, repainted (somehow during the move they got left out in the rain, and were a little worse for the wear), and used the Entwined print from the new Marin collection to cover the cushions. They turned out so cute! I really love them. And the print works perfectly in our living room. The fabric isn't upholstery weight, but I backed them with a craft weight interfacing, and it really worked well. I'll let you know how they hold up!
