The Find
Quite a while ago I found a pair of black metal dining chairs with tan "suede" seats (definitely some kind of polyester fabric) that were just kind of...meh.
Uninspiring.

A friend was looking for some patio furniture, for which painted metal furniture is pretty well suited. The result of the design consultation was that recovering the chair seats in white vinyl would be a good makeover option. Vinyl is wipe-able and that is a convenient factor in outdoor furniture which gets dusty and exposed to the elements. Onward I went with the seat recovering.
The Makeover Results
The white vinyl fabric was a little thicker the original polyester suede, and thus harder to make perfect corners with, oh well. I think it turned out out very serviceable.

Conclusion and Makeover Bonus
Soon after delivering the recovered chairs I found a set of two matching lumbar pillows. Score! The blue pillows on white seats give a nice ocean-inspired vibe to this little corner.

Happy freestyling, don't be afraid of a little chair seat recovering project!
