I bought seven chairs off my neighbor after a yard sale we had on the street. I had eyed them the entire yard sale and stuck to my motto - "if it's not there when I go back for it, then it wasn't meant to be." I was lucky, it was meant to be.
The chairs were just the way I like them - not perfect. there a two styles of back and that doesn't bother me one bit, in fact I think it adds character.
I proceeded to paint them white.
I gave my good friend advice after several coats of white paint per chair, always prime. The later ones I primed were much easier to cover with the white paint.
After I painted the chairs white I sewed white slipcovers for the seats.
I love the long slipcovers that look like skirts.
I am still contemplating whether or not to distress them. By the time I decide, the family may have taken care of the distressing...
Have a wonderful (snowy and cold in our case) weekend!
