Looking for chair leg pads that will actually STAY ON your chairs? I share the ones that have worked best for me! (post includes affiliate links – full disclosure statement available {here})
Hi all! I’m at our house in NC after driving down with my sister last week to visit my parents (including an early celebration of my dad’s birthday) and to work on a few house projects. I knocked out a super quick & simple project yesterday to solve this small but annoying problem that I’m guessing many of you have too:
Yep, the felt pads that you put on the bottom of chairs and stools constantly end up stuck to the sides of chair legs instead of underneath them. I decided to try out {these felt pads} that nail on to the chair legs that a friend of mine swears by:
They come in white, brown, & black in various sizes – you want to order ones that are slightly smaller than the size of the chair legs (mine are the 24mm white). It took me only about 10 minutes to add them to my kitchen counter stools. You simply pull of the plastic caps that are already on the chair legs with some pliers (do it carefully because you don’t want the nail breaking off in the wood!):
and then gently nail the new felt pads onto the bottom:
It’s so easy and those felt pads aren’t going anywhere! I’m totally adding these to my other chairs that are on hardwoods too! Just be sure that if you don’t already have nailed-on plastic caps on your chairs like I did, that you pre-drill holes for these new ones before adding them. If you try to hammer them in without any pre-existing holes, you risk splitting the legs of your chairs.
And with that… I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

I bought the Dyson last month on sale at Costco and love it. It vacuums up so much! I have a room a for everyday use. I was so surprised at everything the Dyson picked up that the Roomba left behind.

Hi, Kris,
I have just started reading your blog after discovering it recently and today’s post hit home. We have an octagonal breakfast room with a gazebo feel, and, to tell the truth, that room is one of the main reasons we chose this house plan. (Our builder tried to talk my husband out of it, saying only women would love a room like that and my husband said if he had known that in college, he would have added one on to his apartment).
Our ceiling has beadboard with “strips” between the sections; we also laid the hardwood floors in sections as well with similar “strips” where the sections come together.
It is all windows except for one skinny wall that backs up to the kitchen, where we had a custom mirror that looks exactly like another window. When you are in the room, you feel like you are outside.
I could send you photos if you think it would help you.
Am enjoying your blog!

I really like your circus room – an indoor gazebo. I would have bought the house just for that. I love that dresser. So cute. I recently bought the Shark Navigator, with the self clean brush roll. It’s not cordless but I absolutely love it. I rent, and the carpeting is dark colored. I have 3 white dogs, with red dirt outside. I can’t believe the dirt it gets up, much less all the hair. I am seeing colors in the carpeting I haven’t seen in several years. BTW – that red clay stains. Needless to say, there’s not much white inside houses here.

I see your progress in your new home and it’s looking so wonderful. I imagine you’re excited for the day when you will actually be moving there. The bones of your new (to you) home are fantastic.
