Last winter I decided it was time to reupholster my dining room chairs. They had been gradually deteriorating for several years, and they finally got to the point where they looked so miserable that it was time to do something about them. My dining room furniture belonged to my paternal grandparents, and it’s this interesting mid-century Danish modern design. I had been considering getting rid of the chairs because the needed a little structural help in addition to their upholstery woes, but Ben thought their design was unique enough that I should hold onto them. After doing a little research on Danish modern design, I found a dining room set very similar to mine listed on eBay for somewhere around $1500. It was enough to convince me that I should probably hang onto the full set and just give the chairs a little facelift.
