Do It Yourself: Ice Cream Chair Cushions

We’re really getting inspired lately by customers who are doing unique things with our furniture! We love a good DIY project, and it looks like our customers love to DIY too. Recently we received these ice cream parlor chairs that are perfectly mismatched and just oozing with charm, but they have damaged seats (see below). We know they’d look great new upholstered seats, and they’re just waiting for someone crafty to come along and give them a home. See the video below for a clever way to make upholstered cushions using oilcloth, which would make these chairs suitable for both indoors and outdoors. We could see them outside on a patio, or indoors around a small cafe table. So come pick them up and visit the garment district nearby in Midtown to buy your fabric!
