Back in my spacious Connecticut apartment, I bought four “Roger” chairs for about $60 each from Ikea to fit a small dining table I had. My parents, who live in Rhode Island, were able to store them until I bought my house in Philadelphia. The new house had an area for a larger dining table I was looking on the Ikea website a few additional Roger chairs. They had been discontinued. I turned to my favorite site, (this was before Pinterest!) CraigsList, and was searching for Roger chairs. I stumbled across a listing for four chairs plus the matching dining table for $100! It was in NY near the NJ line, but my parents were driving through that area the next day on their way to visit me and were able to pick them up. It worked out fantastically! Until a few years later when I was bored with the look of the chairs. Since I had assembled them in the first place, I knew it would be really easy to switch the fabric, especially if I cheated and just covered over the old fabric. A few screws, some fabric, and a staple gun and I was all set! I had some extra leftover fabric so I looked up no-sew valances on Pinterest and found few easy steps on blogs. Here are the results:
