I had two burlap valances I bought from The Feathered Nest in Morris. I was not sure where I would put them just knew they were too cute to pass up. Since I do not sew I always take advantage of sweet cute sewn items like these when I see them. Kim is one of the shop owners of The Feathered Nest and she is a dream sewer. I just love anything she sews and sells in her shop. Here is how I re purposed these cute valances onto my dining room chairs.
 |
| I took the seat cushion off and then just used a staple gun to attach the valances to the chairs. Sorry these pictures are not the greatest I took them at night. |
 |
| With the angle of these chairs I was not sure if I wanted to leave the back open or cut some of the valance to fit in the back. As you can see I decided to put some of the valance in the back of the chair. |

| There you have it a new look for two of my end chairs in the dining room. It just gives a little bling to the chairs. Have a great week. Kris :) Sharing with the Terrific DIY Burlap Ideas |

Cute, cute, cute, Kris! Love the ruffles to this skirt {valance}. Even though I sew, I'd love to do something like this. It makes it so much quicker and easier!
ReplyDeleteA creative way to use the valances. They add quite a bit of charm to the chair. Thank you for sharing.

How cute is this. That is such a creative idea, and it looks amazing. I love it. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteAren't you the smartest. That is so cute.
ReplyDeleteOh my stars that is just the cutest thing! Burlap ruffles. What a super way to use those you smarty pants! On another note, our chairs are very similar! Mine are black, but we have the same upholstery and general shape. I've got one re done in white so far. They'll be something to tackle this Winter ;) I love yours!!
ReplyDeleteKris, I'm so impressed!:) What a great idea-they look fab!
ReplyDeleteSusan
What a brilliant idea, they are just adorable now:) Im sharing on my FB page today!

ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

ReplyDeleteHi Kris, me again. I sent you two e-mails and neither one went through, so will thank you here. I just got the magazine today and what a beautiful book. There are so many ideas that will be helpful to me and I certainly loved your pages. I always enjoy seeing what you are up to around your cottage and this was a wonderful lay out and story and the pictures devine. The tea was so good and presented so beautifully in it's little special packet..I spent a very relaxing and enjoyable afternoon on the front porch..Happy Monday..Judy

ReplyDeleteVery cute! Love it. Blessings, Martha
ReplyDeleteOh Kris - that looks absolutely amazing !!!!!
ReplyDeleteNow you have to find one for a table cloth :)
I love it - wish I could sew!
XOXO
Those are darling, Kris. I really love how it dresses up the chairs at the end of the table. You have a great eye for finishing details. Hope you have a good night- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteall I can do is reiterate what everyone has said....... brilliant, smart, clever and so charming! xo
ReplyDeleteIsn't that just the sweetest!!! What a neat idea...I love them Kris!!!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with this chair. How simple and it just looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteMorning Kris,
ReplyDeleteYour chairs really look so darling.......... a very nice touch to your chairs and dining room area. I have always wanted to do my 2 captains chair with a slipcover with a gathered skirt, but hasn't happened yet............I do sew some, but really have to be in the mood, Plus I am more chicken about sewing things by myself, cause I used to have some friends that sewed. but they have either moved or are working full time now. It was always nice to do it with or at least bounce my ideas off of them, cause I don't want to risk ruining the fabric, etc.......... 2 heads are better than one I always say, cause what one doesn't think of the other one does. One of these days I might get the will and courage to tackle it!!! lol
Guess it just isn't that important to me at this time of my life.
That was a really great idea using the valances, I love to see things repurposed like that............very clever, my dear!! Also like the pillow on the chair too. It is adorable as well, and perfect to go on there.
Hope you are all refreshed after your long but fun trip.
Does take a lil while to get settled back in doesn't it..............but it is well worth it. lol
Take care and have a good rest of the week hon,
Blessings, Nellie
how adorable, kris! that is the cutest idea! the little pillow is perfect!
ReplyDeleteKris, I don't know where you come up with so many new ideas. Your mind must be constantly churning them out. lol
ReplyDeleteI noticed in the first photo you have a big rooster in your office. I haven't noticed him before. Maybe we could have a closer look sometime.
Thanks again for your great inspiration.
*Smiles*
Kris, what an amzing idea and they are so charming. They really add a lot to your room. Love it!

Hi Kris, I love them! I just painted to chairs white for my basement kitchen table. I took the seats off to recover in burlap. Going to try printing an image on the burlap. Thinking I might need to add a ruffle after seeing your beauties!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
I love the little shades and what you did to them. I once cut holes in potting baskets, tied a bow around and used them as shades. That chair, what a new way to do the ruffle, simple but I would have never thought of it. Love the chair. Alaina
