Can i make my regular dining room chair into a parsons chair?

Posted by admin on September 14th, 2011

i have a dining room table and chair set that was my mothers, and i don't want to get rid of it. however, the chairs are starting to look terrible! the chairs are rounded at the top somewhat and i am having a hard time finding a slipcover that would look good. the set is rather traditional, and i think parsons chairs would look really good with it. however, they are expensive! so i have been thinking that i could add some padding and try to change the look. i was just wandering if anyone has ever tried to give an ordinary chair the parson look. any tips? thank you!
