食卓の椅子は、10年ぐらい前に中古で買ったんだけど、荷ほどきをしてみたら、使っていた時にはなかったシミが座面の布に沢山現れた上に、その座面の布は紙が破けるみたいに簡単に裂けてしまいました。
そんなわけで、座面の布の張替え決行。

A lot of weird things happened to the stuff that were stored in the storage for two years in the Desert Southwest. The lids of the Pyrex containers crumbled like pie shells (but not other el cheapo container lids) and things got weirdly crummy.
Our dining chairs were bought about 10 years ago as a second-hand. When we stored them in the storage, we broke down the chair legs to save storage space and the seats were put in a box. For some reason (most likely heat, considering the storage was not climate controlled), while they were in the storage, a lot of stains that were not there before surfaced on the fabric. Also, the fabric disintegrated and ripped like a tissue paper.
So we decided to reupholster the chairs. I ordered some fabric swatches and decided on a simple basket weave upholstery fabric.
Luckily, MOTH's father is visiting us so the two of them got to work and I was able to avoid the task.
I just sat there and enjoyed my margarita.
