Remember the chairs from this picture?
Junky. Dirty. Stained. Torn. Old.
Well, meet my new dining room chairs!
Aren’t they beautiful?
I spent this last weekend painting and reupholstering them. The paint colors are:
Banner Red
Pumpkin Orange
Blue Ocean Breeze
Bauhaus Gold
Krylon spray paint, of course. The orange gave me quite a hard time and ended up crackling all over. Remember when crackled finish was very popular? Well, if you still like it I seem to have a natural talent for it. I can come over and crackle up all of your furniture for you. Fortunately, the crackling kind of suits the imperfectness of this set.
My husband is currently building the final piece of our new dining set. He should be done by the end of our break and I’ll show you the big reveal with all the pieces together and in place. Can’t wait!!!
And I have to give credit where credit is due. I got this idea from All Things Thrifty. She is phenomenally talented. She showcased a similar transformation HERE and I fell in love. Wish I had another chair so I could paint it green.
Check out the table these chairs will go with:

These are absolutely darling! Love the color and fabric combos glad I came over from Centsational Girl to see!
what a great idea!
Visiting from Censational Girl…Love what you’ve done with the chairs. I have a set of chairs that are all the same and have been toying with painting them different colors and using different upholstery too. I so like the look of your chairs. They are gorgeous. Do you have any idea why your chairs crackled?
I think they crackled for a few reasons. 1. I didn’t sand anything. 2. I was painting in 40 degree weather. 3. The primer was still tacky when I began painting. Kind of like a triple threat. I was just not being careful to do it exactly as the can specified. And thanks for the kind words about my chairs.
These look so fabulous!!!! Where is the fabric from???
All of the fabric is from Fabric Depot in Portland, OR. The tan and blue fabrics are “Ellis” by Waverly and the Damask fabrics are from Premier Prints. The green pattern is “Madison” and the red is “Avery”.
