No Strip or Sand Stained Dining Chairs

I wanted new dining chairs for my own home to go with our antique Duncan Phyfe style dining table  I restored. Previously we had leather parson's chairs but I have always loved the look of wooden pressback chairs so this is what I chose to replace them with. And I am going to stain them WITHOUT stripping and sanding! I had 2 sets of press back chairs in my stock to paint, now to decide which set. My husband and I did a comfort sitting test and of course visual and went with the slightly larger ones on the left. This set also has 2 captains chairs as a bonus.

"Rose" chair change up




Years ago I bought this chair from a wonderful lady named Rose's estate sale. It is a comfy cute little chair. I have wanted to recover forever but have settled for different throws to cover it so it blends in to my home decor.



some fabric samples I have found online only



But when a contest was announced for upholstery I jumped at the chance. Click HERE for the tutorial on how this antique chair was made pretty again!
