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.
