Kitchen Chairs Makeover

Since I have this stylin' new kitchen I needed to make over my tired and well loved kitchen chairs. They were given to us from my parents when they got new ones so if those chairs could talk I'm sure they could tell you all sorts of stories about how I was such an caring and kind older sister but I digress.. Here is a before of our chairs.



I took some of this because I'm an instant gratification kinda girl....


Cleaned the stickies that I'm sure aren't on anyone elses chairs...lightly sanded and I mean lightly.. just enough to kind a rough it up. Then Sam and I checked the outside tempturature and did a happy dance because it was 50 degrees and we could spraypaint.


After they were dried I destress the edges and things because I figure it will get that way anyway.



Then I polyied (I know I made that word up :) )them and lala as Zach says.


I did find a few spots where I wasn't very good with the spraypaint but because I was going for that destressed look it turned into a creative opportunity and they look just fine! Hope you enjoy! I'll do the table in the next little while..

So cute! You are a wiz with that spray paint! Really they turned out SO good! Can't wait to see the table.

And, btw, I found the knobs today...8 drawer pulls...brushed nickel
6 cabinet knobs...silver.

Homemaking 101

Does anyone else feel like it's time for a refresher course on homemaking 101? Maybe we should watch a few seasons of Leave it to Beave...
