Dropcloth Slipcovers for Leather Parsons Chairs

I suspect there are lots of homes with dining chairs like this and I suspect many are in a similar condition... 

At my customer's request I used dropcloths for this set of four dining chairs. I bought them at Lowe's and used the 10 oz weight.The entire project took one 9x12 and one 6x9. I pre-washed all in hot water and  a hot dryer at the laundromat.

Here's the after:

It's a one million percent improvement with approximately $10 worth of fabric per chair. This is the only chair I have to photograph. The other three remained at home and I made 4 identical slipcovers. Hopefully I'll get a photo of the entire set.

And here's the inspiration photo: 

Embroidered Linen Host Chairs

Here's another piece in the puzzle of this room update by Donna Katz of DK Designs in Salisbury. Originally the host chairs were fully upholstered in a more formal stripe. 

Here they are with embroidered linen slipcovers in the cream and blue colorway of the rest of the room..

 A peek a boo view of them from the living area...

What you can't see because they just don't photograph well is new box pleated valances over the windows in the navy fabric. Simple and perfect.

How to turn two different parsons chairs into a pair?

Voila. Once they are covered in the same fabric, you have to look really closely to see the differences in height, width and design although it's a little more obvious from the back. 

My eyes are very glad to have this project finished, but I love the way they turned out.
