AW: First refinished furniture pieces

edited December 2014 in October 2012 Weddings
In an effort to both save money and give the kids a more unique room, we decided to purchase older style furniture and refinish it. I have several inspiration pics on pinterest that I'm trying to imitate so hopefully it will all come together in the end. Anyway, my first items were a pair of chairs that I picked up from a flea market for $15 each. They are sturdy, real wood and I love the shape and detail they have. I spent an additional $15 on fabric. One will go in each girls room. Ava, the 8 yr old, will get the black one and Isla, the 5 yr old, will get the green one. The before is the chair in brown. I'm posting from my phone so I'm sorry the pics are sideways. :(

  • Thanks everyone!  It was actually much easier to do than I thought.  I used chalk paint which doesn't require any sanding or priming, just paint it and then use a wax to seal it.


    They are amazing.

    What I also find amazing is that you are posting pics from your phone.  I need to how you are doing that.

    When you start a new post from your phone, you can click "Attach File" at the bottom under the box that you type in.  Then just go to where your pictures are stored (probably DCIM) and pick the photo(s) you want to attach.  Super easy!
