decisions, decisions

Lots of painting has been going on here the last couple of days, it's lovely weather so great to be out in the winter sun.

I will do a post of our house painting later but I wanted to show you something that I have been doing.

 Do you remember way back last year when I found these two chairs set out with the garbage one night?
They came home with me of course and have been used by VCH and myself at our dining table.

I finally got around to doing something with them.

Firstly I gave them a good clean with a scourer some washing up liquid and hot water and then set about giving them two coats of white paint.

Then of course I got out the sandpaper and distressed them.

After that I went over them with some dark furniture beeswax before giving them a quick spray with clear gloss.

Now my problem is what do I do with the cushions?

A nice grain sack or French script fabric would be my first choice, unfortunately I don't have any lurking in my sewing cupboard, but I do have these.

 putty coloured spot- this is actually a pillow case- I have seen this in oilcloth which would of course be wipe-able

 pink with tiny spot, I have a blue on too (his and hers)

 stripy upholstery fabric

 pink paisley

 natural canvas

 blue floral, I bought for some cushions and never used.

 hessian (burlap)

 cream with pink roses

 brown corduroy

  another floral.

So tell me what is your favourite?
