I bought 6 chairs from “This That & More Flea Market” to use for our restaurant. I was just going to change out the seats and leave the wood alone because they weren’t in bad shape. I kept thinking… Do I really want to redo 6 chairs? – I have so many other projects I have to work on right now for the shop. But as I cleaned them up I kept noticing the wood designs and detail and just couldn’t pass up painting & distressing them. This collage shows some of the process they went through.
A big thanks to my husband who made completely new boards for the seats so I could throw away the old ones and not have to fool with the disintegrating foam and thousands of staples. The finished chairs are ready now for Country Kitchen customers to sit and enjoy a hearty meal! I just have to decide which table to put them around.
