Although you have already seen these chairs in a couple of my previous posts featuring the new dining room wall colors this past summer see here and my fall vignettes see here, I thought I would create a post just for them...especially with the holidays coming up .
Anyway, here is our dining room set prior to the transformation. It is a basic, solid oak table that has several leaves which is ideal for family get togethers.
The day I painted my kitchen mantle,
I grabbed one the of the dining armchairs and gave him a quick coat as well. I loved the way he looked and immediately placed him in the hearth area where he popped against the brick back ground.
So late in August, I dragged all six of the the armless chairs out to the garage and proceeded to clean, sand, wipe, paint, sand some more, and finished them off with two coats of polyurethene.

| Here's the culprit....caught napping....and she only chewed when she was a puppy ....thank goodness! So here you can see the end result. I like how the black chairs "ground" the space. |
Now I still have the armchair to paint before Thanksgiving!!
Thanks so much for stopping by,

Love the look of them painted black, they really do show up well in your diningroom! Great job on them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great solution for covering up the dog chewed parts! The chairs look great! It's funny...I've had a few things chewed by dogs when they were puppies and have repaired them only to regret it after the dog was dead. The door in my parents bathroom got chewed on my my childhood dog and when my Dad repaired it, my Mom was very upset. Me too...I had a sideboard that my dog chewed the leg of when she was little. I repaired it but when she died at age 17, I wish I'd left it to remember her by.
