I purchased these chairs for $5 each at my local thrift store. In their "before" state, they were badly spray painted black, and the seats were recovered very sloppily several times. I recovered the seat with Jessica Jones Peapod fabric that I purchased from J Caroline Creative.
Redoing a chair like this has to be one of the quickest, most effective diy projects. Simply unscrew the cushions, and remove the old fabrics. Use the old fabric as a pattern and cut your new fabric. Staple the new fabric on to the cushions, stretching as you go, keeping the designs straight. Repaint the frame, priming first, and sanding in between coats. Screw the cushions back on, and you are done.
