a little monkey business...

so we have now lived in our current house for 8 years.  our dining room is furnished with a vintage dining room suit that belonged to ronnie's great-grandparents.  it has a table, 6 chairs, a china hutch, & a side board.  it became ours about 15 years ago.  at that time, we had a navy dining room so i purchased a waverly print & recovered the chairs.  we have since moved two times & the chairs have not changed.

in our current house, these are the colors in my dining room...


it is high time to recover!  

aunt linda, a.l., scored some home decor fabric from an interior design house.  she brought the fabric to our little quilt group.  friday night, i asked if i could buy some for the purpose of recovering my chairs.  she gladly let me have some!  i brought home two pieces, but fell in love with this...


so begins the dining room redux...


the fabric i chose was a large remnant which was a challenge to use.  i ended up using two different monkeys as the focus for the chairs, but i like it!  it is funky & whimsical...



what do you think?
thanks, a.l.

(btw...the obsession with monkeys developed when we moved into our current house...the monkey on the left chair is actually painted on the wall in my bathroom!)
