Folding and Dining Chair Slipcovers Are A Perfect Match

I’m holding a dinner party for a group of friends this Saturday and have been looking forward to it for ages.  There are going to be ten of us in total.  I’ve never had so many people round to dinner before, but I think we’ll just about squeeze in around the table!  The only thing is, I’ve only got 8 dining chairs.  So, I had to come up with a solution!

I was visiting my parents the other evening and did wonder if I could perhaps borrow a couple of their dining chairs for the night.  My folks quite often help me out if I need to borrow something!  The only thing is, theirs are the type that have arms and would look out of place with my chairs.  They are also solid oak, which wouldn’t look right with my rustic pine table.  Looking at them, I thought there must be a better option.

That’s when my mum disappeared upstairs and returned a short while later with a folding chair under each arm.  Brilliant!  These would work perfectly.  I suddenly remembered that Sure Fit sell slipcovers for folding chairs, in the same fabric as their dining chair slipcovers.  So, I could dress up both types of chair using slipcovers and my guests would probably not even notice the difference.

I got online and had a look at the Sure Fit website.  They have folding chair covers in a choice of fabrics and colors, including cotton duck, Normandy, satin stripe and scroll.  I decided to order some matching scroll patterned dining room and folding chair covers in the burgundy.  The folding chair ones were only $14.99 for a set of two!

Anyway, I’m very pleased with my purchases and can’t wait to use them when I give my dining room a makeover before the party.
