Kids at Work! 15 year old brother work side by side 11 year old twin sisters to help Auntie Me with my Project. These kids love to do hands on Projects and help! Most Kids do!

This is what they looked like. I do not usually paint mid century chairs, but there were painted gold, which I kind of liked but were a hot mess. And those seat cushions were COMPLETELY Blown. The foam was just dust!

After they took off the fabric, and then dumping and pulling the innards of the cushion out we saw the S shaped Springs were still in decent shape. To make them stronger we added some Strapping, which I bought at a thrift store recently just because I like it.

After the strapping was attached, They added the new foam and batting...by staple gun which they LOVED usuing After that the Fabric was added, again, by staple gun! They did a great job with my direction and hands on help from Uncle The Hub!
