I have been trying to figure out what to do with the 6 dining chairs I purchased A YEAR AGO that have sat...all brown and ugly...in our house just waiting for their day in the sun. Two toned. GENIUS.

I wouldn't want my favorite family room chair to have painted upholstery, but they wipe down like a dream after every meal served up in my kitchen!<br />xo,<br />JillyJillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09828343537755803797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713717551638678180.post-10637539554285254812012-06-11T08:00:49.987-07:002012-06-11T08:00:49.987-07:00Hi Debbie:

Probably not ideal for a family room couch, but perfect for two kitchen chairs that are going to be wiped down multiple times a day.<br />xo,<br />JillyJillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09828343537755803797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713717551638678180.post-38177945771958586202012-06-11T07:59:40.706-07:002012-06-11T07:59:40.706-07:00Hi Kimberly:

(water clean-up) I just used what I had in white, which just happened to be the kitchen and bath enamel latex. Worked great! <br />xo,<br />JillyJillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09828343537755803797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5713717551638678180.post-57923582756238511222012-06-11T07:39:38.218-07:002012-06-11T07:39:38.218-07:00I've never painted fabric before.
