vintage chair redo

I found these vintage farmhouse style chair at Goodwill a few weeks back. I just loved the details of these old chairs.  Would you believe they were only $7 each?? I knew I wanted to paint them a light gray and make them heavily distressed....


Here they are! I just love the way the details stand out after being painted!

  2. Soooo much cuter painted! I will never stop being amazed at what a bit of paint can do to a piece.

    Warm blessings,

  5. Beautiful chairs! I'd have often for an insanely bright color, but you're right, the white does bring out the shape of the chairs.

  8. I have 8 of these chairs and can't stand them. I wish I could slip cover them...or sell them.

    Your painted chairs are great!

    Hey! I found a link to your blog (and mine too!) on a RUSSIAN website. I’m sending the site and I also translated it with Babelfish translator. Thought you might get a kick out of this. Too funny!
