Granny Cushions

When my Grandma downsized and moved into a Retirement home she gave me a set of Windsor chairs.


(Oh in case you are wondering about the patch of miss matched wall, I Photoshopped it. Under the patch is an incredibly ugly gold switch plate cover... this place is just full of "treasures" like that)
The are in great shape! I love how they seem hug you when you sit in them.
I keep one by the front door, for those difficult shoes and boots applications,  and one stays in the guest room.  But if we ever have more than six people over for dinner I'll bring them out to use at the table. 
My plan is to recover the cushion with the same fabric that I used to recover the dining room chairs.

From this


To this


I still need to put some covered buttons on them, but so far I love how they look :)

Hopefully I'll get them done in the next few days. Then the next thing on my list is to find sconces... but its proving to be more difficult that I expected.... there are just way to many choices out there.
