Ever wonder how can you maximize your visit to Tybee Island? We have gathered the best insider tips so you can plan a dream trip to one of the most unique places you'll ever visit. BEST PLACE TO LAY DOWN YOUR TOWEL Park near the Tybee Beach Beach and Pavilion ( Tybrisa St, Tybee Island, GA 31328) use the bridge in front of the Tybee Island Marine Center turn right and walk towards the rock formation close to the sand dunes. This portion of the beach has a smoother sand, lots of shallow areas that are perfect for little kids to bathe safely, is less crowded, and because it's close to the sand dunes you will see a large variety of seaside birds.
Every now and then you go to a local thrift store an you find an item that speaks to you. You suddenly hear a chorus of angels singing and see a ray of light shining down upon you. You know you just hit the jackpot. Your pupils are dilated, you heart is pumping faster, your palms are sweaty and you try not to call any attention by containing your happiness. Okay, maybe I am exaggerating a little bit, but I swear, the day I found these chairs I was doing a happy dance on my head :)
These traditional chairs have a southern feel that I just can't get enough. They came with a striped seat cushion that by no means would work with my existing furniture. My immediate thought was, "I can do this". I can change the fabric and have a brand new chair. And so I did!
Went to Hobby Lobby, found a red and white chevron fabric, and decided to give it a try. I removed the loose cushions, lay the fabric down and placed the cushion upside-down on top of fabric. I then proceeded to cut
the fabric around the cushion, leaving enough fabric on each side to fold
over and staple the heck out of it. LOL!
Is a fairly simple procedure. Anyone can do it, and the satisfaction that it gives you at the end is priceless! I have seen chairs like these sell at local antique stores for over $75.00 dollars. This project didn't cost me more than $20 so my heart swells with pride, happiness and a huge sense of accomplishment.
Who knew a little bit of fabric, a staple gun and an old chair can make such a huge difference in a room. The picture really doesn't do any justice to the chairs. They really, really look sooo pretty!
