I decided to try spraying the whole lid too, just to see what would happen, then I wiped the excess off.

I love this look for a kitchen because it’s both an updated look and also totally appropriate for an old farmhouse like ours..This was a pretty simple job overall, but one with a really big impact.

Those are always the best projects aren’t they?.We really only needed a few basic supplies, other than the miter saw which is out in the garage.. We gathered some painting supplies, our handy-dandy cordless brad nailer, and some GE Iron Grip adhesive..When it comes to adhesives, this one is definitely a winner.

It sticks to pretty much anything, whether porous or non-porous, even things that are typically difficult for other adhesives like steel, PVC, glass, concrete, and porcelain, and since it’s 100% silicone it won’t shrink or lose adhesion over time.Plus it works super-fast, which is really the key to my heart.

In projects where you need to clamp something and let it dry, it builds strength quickly and offers up to 75% less clamp time than many other adhesives!

So it’s basically the new glue of choice around here.I figured they’d probably be ruined, but I figured that if they stayed that dirty, I’d probably get frustrated and buy new chairs anyway, or sew some new covers, so I went for it..

The covers aren’t really meant to come off like regular couch slipcovers are, so they were a little tight, but I fought it out..I was sure they’d shrink or shred or something, but look!.

That’s one clean chair!.Definitely significantly cleaner than before!
