My chairs after painting and reupholstering. |
Picture of the chairs that was on Craig's List |
Isn't it funny how, just like birthing a baby, birthing repurposed furniture is soooo painful but as soon as you see the finished project you forget all the pain of the labor! This project sure had it's painful moments and anything that could go wrong did. From running out of paint, to having to strip down the old batting and bleaching the wood seat to get rid of a rather pungent (putrid!) smell that was permeating from these beauties! But, in the end, I am really happy with how they turned out. Hope you enjoy them too!

Well, I bet it's nice to be able to sit down at the table to eat now!! Especially on those!!
ReplyDeleteThey turned out great, Cyndi!! Love the white on that style of chair. Good choice!
Your chairs look really nice. I didn't realize you had done them already until I came over to your blog. That birthing part is really true ~ I hate the sanding part. Great job!
