This week's Thrifty Thurday comes by way of my friend Diva. As mentioned in my Monday post, on Christmas Eve my family paid a visit to our friends the Dassau's. My friend Diva shared with me a thrifty project she recently did. She recovered her dining room chairs in a shower curtain! She found the shower
curtain at Ross for $8.00. She loved the fabric and the colors and design.
I dont know why the picture appears to have two differnt colors, they are both the same color, same fabric.
However, there was only one shower curtain, enough to cover two chairs, but not enough to cover four.She actually found a neutral tabelcloth that was pretreated with stain guard and covered the remaining chairs, plus some barstolls in that fabric. Diva has two young children and can a test to the fact that the guard works.
I love this idea! A shower curtain! Now that's thinking out of the box!
Now onto Tablescape Thursday...
All dishes came from AT HOME, Homewood.

WHAT a great profile picture! Thanks for hosting! :)
I like thinking outside the box. Not only does it provide unique decorating ideas, but it usually does so for a lot less money.

Such wonderful colors. You don't even need to be a great cook with that presentation. I would be dazzled by the sight alone
Using shower curtains to recover the chairs is such a great idea. Inexpensive and easy to clean up! I'm due for an update in my dining room so I appreciate this post VERY much!
Love ya Leigh!
Thanks for hosting Leigh

The chairs look fabulous. What a great idea to use the shower curtain. The fabric is gorgeous. Such a beautiful tablescape also. Thanks for hosting this fun meme. Hugs, Marty
I like that shower curtain idea! Will put that away for future chair covering.
Happy New Year, Leigh!
Linky is being really slow today!
How I wish I could be drifing along today like your new header.
Thanks so much for hosting. I tried to post last night but couldn't get the blog party to load for some reason. Happy New Year!
