After the China Cabinet was complete, I ended up having some material left over. I decided it would be nice to recover the seats on my bar stools in the same room. It ties everything together and I never really liked the black material on the stools. The chairs are from Sticks N Stuff, a furniture store located in Clarksville. It has good prices, but the quality is not so great. I started by unscrewing the seats from the stool. There was only about three screws holding them together. I cut the material about 4 " bigger than the seats, leaving plenty of room to be wrapped around to cover the whole seat. Before I began stapling the material, I added wood glue to the bottom just for extra support, in case the material would tear around the staples. Then I stapled the material to the bottom part of the seat, but checking the corners to make sure I liked how it was folded. After the glue dried for a couple hours, I screwed the seats back to the stools. I was worried about the material being so thin, so I also added more glue under the stool, where the seat and stool meet in corners. I was amazed at how well the whole room is tied together now. Here are some before and after pictures of the bar stools.
