Ugly, ugly well past their prime VINTAGE dining room chairs {shhhhh...found curbside!}
First coat of black spray paint ...
After a few more coats of spray paint .... the seat before, I should have taken pictures of each layer of fabric I tore away ... it felt like traveling thru time a few different decades ...
I chose a faux burlap feed sack to cover the seats in ... made the grain sack myself ; )
The chairs looked a bit bored and lonely, so I searched out an authentic vintage black table for them to pair up with ... this table was also a great find, not free but quite close ... I love the fluted legs and it's little hidden drawer ... you can't see the drawer, it's hidden!
Here's the new trio ...
Plus the newly covered seats ... and ta-da! .... a fresh new vintage black set ready to go!
Finished just in time to take to my new booth space today ... and hopefully sell it ... It can't stay in the foyer, doesn't work well with opening and closing the front door!
Happy Vintage Black Friday! .... can you believe next week will be the last one? ... I have some fun things planned ... enjoy your weekend, maybe shopping for some vintage black?
I think the set looks awesome! Ah, paint covers a multitude of sins, no? I also painted a vintage rocker black for my vintage black Friday post today....
ReplyDeleteOMG, Jill, what an absolutely WONDERFUL makeover!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, I had to REALLY think about what to post today. It ended up being more a trip down memory lane . . .
Whah, next Friday is the lst one . . . I'm looking forward to seeing what you have planned.
Have a great weekend!
Hugs,
Marsha
Wow - what a transformation. I love it! You have a beautiful home.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! That is so funny, I picked up a chair just like that and painted mine black, too! The burlap seat cover is genius! When I peeled back the fabrics on my chair I was amazed at the 4 decades of designer choices! From 1970's avocado floral print to 80's Southwest mania and more craziness! Fun post - Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful job you did. I really like the new seat covers!
ReplyDeleteOops I meant to type LAST . . . or did I?!?!? Hugs, Marsha
ReplyDeleteOf course it will sell! I love that you made the grain sacks yourself!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Curbside? What a knockout set you have created. The grainsack chair coverings are amazing. I'm just crazy about black furniture! Can't wait to see what you have planned for next week!

Oh boy i love it!!! I don't have anything black to share today :( been very busy in the studio. How did you make the burlap bag? I love it!
ReplyDeleteSmiles~Michelle
wow!! they are fabulous!!! i wish i had something to share for VBF today, but i shared everything i had in two posts...i should have paced myself!
ReplyDeleteWonderful makeover, Jill! I know what you mean - I am scrambling to think of something for the final VBF next Friday!
ReplyDeleteAwesome chairs and seat cushions! Personally, I think spray paint is so terribly underrated and misunderstood. It's such a great tool!
ReplyDeleteGood luck selling them. I don't think that set will be in your booth very long.

ReplyDeleteHi Jill,
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by! No, I haven't posted about living in Portugal and Spain, just a comment here and there. I've been meaning to though. I think I'll start with my winning a Flamenco comeptition when I was around 4 :) Need to take some photographs. I'd post them next Friday BUT my dress is BLUE . . . but I do have B&W photos . . . .
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs,
Marsha
