Well, here is the story of a couple of NOT so pretty chairs.I got these at my local goodwill for only $4.99
.They were very sturdy and surprisingly enough.."made in Poland"...:)
I had heard of Polish glass, but had never heard much of Polish furniture.
Anyway, even though they were very well made, I was not a fan of the red stain and the pink vinyl covering on the seats...YUCK!
Soooooooooo, I got to priming them....and while I waited for the primer to dry, I got to covering the seats with my material.
notice again..the yucky...(yes that is a scientific term) pink vinyl...:)
also notice the ton of staples and why I covered over this and didn't pull them all out!!!!
and here she is all covered....MUCH BETTER!!!
Now I could get to painting in an heirloom white.
And then to distressing......
and then re-attaching the seats to the chair....
and then I hand painted on No. 1 and No.2 on the back of the chairs. I have seen these in so many posts, I don't even know who to give credit too...:)
now look how perfect they look with my "french label table"..
you can see the link to the table @ http://arttisbeauty.blogspot.com/2011/07/french-dining-table.htmlI hope you have a beautiful day!

Lovely. They look amazing with your table!!
Our Thrift Store isn't as inexpensive as yours, but I can find great stuff. The clothes are a lot cheaper and my daughter is always finding something. You did a fabulous job on all three of your items. The distressing of your table top gives me an idea of what to do with my veneer teak table. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for linking your projects up to Craft and Tell. It's amazing what a little paint and fabric will do. Love the transformation : )
Fabulous! I have made some great chair finds at GW as well...although I love the great design of yours! Love!
