A Great Find

We have too much big, dark furniture for our living room...sofa, love seat, over sized chair and ottoman, etc. So I decided to start looking for two smaller chairs to replace the over sized one. I moved the love seat into the office to free up more space. I didn't want to spend a lot with three small kids who will tear it up so I started looking at second hand shops and online. A neighbor told me about a friend of hers that was selling two wing back chairs. They were just what I was looking for except they were green velvet! Now I'm not opposed to vintage but I just couldn't handle the dark green. I found fabric at Hancock for half off and a lady that does detailed slip covers. She only charged me $50 per chair!! Here's the before and after.
