My Amazing Husband

When we moved into this house, we got a dining room table and chairs off of KSL.com classifieds. At the time we had a 2 year old and a 5 month old. I didn't think much about the white fabric on the chairs except that it looked nice. A few months later, I realized that the white was a problem and that it no longer looked nice. I started to recover the chairs with new darker fabric, but by the time I got to the third chair the first one was filthy again. I thought about making slip covers that I could take off and wash, but I'm not a seamstress by any stretch of the imagination. So, I asked Tim to make new wooden seats for the chairs. Now he has never done anything like this project before, but that doesn't stop him. With a little asking around and the borrowing of a few tools that he now desires to own, he made me some beautiful new seats for the chairs for Christmas!! I love this man. Here are the stages of his work and the final product!

The raw maple.

Cutting out the shapes.

The seats cut out.

Routing the edges.

Staining and finishing.

The before and after.

All done! Thank you honey, they are just what I wanted, and you are amazing.
