MAKEOVER MONDAY - sit on it, spill on it

recently i was looking for some indoor/outdoor fabrics to recover a small sofa in a client of mine's sunroom. 

stain resistant, fade resistant, it got me thinking that these textiles would be great to use to recover the seats on dining room or kitchen chairs.

some that i pulled from trade-only duralee (some decorators will work on fee even for small projects like this one. doesn't hurt to ask...):

~ pattern #14966 in "capri" - using a happy palette, an updated take on classic plaid (i really like this one)

~ pattern #14990 in "bermuda" - add sizzle with animal stripes in an unexpected color

~ pattern #14274-636 in "confetti" - stylish ikat-esque design

designs like these make me want to run out to the flea market to find some new chairs.

the biggest bonus: no more worries about spilt wine - or milk (if you are like me with a 3 year old in the house)!
