Taking Dining Chairs From Drab to Fab!

Check out these 1980 era Thonet chairs I scored on Craig's List for $10 each! Of course they need some love, but the potential was there! They were in great shape physically, but the chairs were certainly dated and the lady's husband I bought them from was so glad to see them go! I wonder how'd he'd like them now?

I removed all of the fabric, cardboard and foam from the backs of the chairs and then filled the grooves with a 2 part epoxy filler

After a little bit of sanding the grooves were gone!

After I primed and painted them this is a closeup of the finished area, pretty awesome right!?

I spray painted the chairs in Benjamin Moore's Linen White, these would not have been chairs I would have painted with a brush, too much work!

And I reupholstered the seats in a grey crocodile embossed velvet, super soft!

Here is my new chair set with my recently refinished table, how I do love them!

For WAY more details on the process and pictures visit my blog Uniquely Yours or Mine, I'd love to have you over!
