This is actually an old DIY project done several months ago.
I bought a dining room table and 4 chairs from a thrift store for $40! Since we entertain a lot, I needed a table with extra leaves. This one came with 3. I also saw alot of potential in the chairs.
I removed the cushions and recovered them with Amy Butler fabric
Instead of sanding, I started the project using liquid de-glosser. Then, I put one coat of Kiltz oil based primer. Finally, I used 3 (or 4) coats of leftover paint from the "White Kitchen" project.
(BM atrium white semi gloss)
I love the caning so I knew I wanted to highlight them. I painted them yellow (BM lightening bug
semi gloss). I followed the same steps as the frame and used an artist brush to avoid drips.
The result:
And here they are in my dining room
Not bad for a $70 project!
More pictures of my dining room tomorrow.
