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.

This little table I picked up hoping it would help us when we were table-less but it was not quite what we needed so I will paint up and sell. I am planning to do it a dark black so it will fit more kitchen color schemes. There were many good suggestions of chili pepper red, lime green black and white.



today I put on two coats of steel grey chalk paint



but against that judgment I distressed lightly the table edge. I waxed the legs and put two coats of polycrylic for durability on the top.






but now I think I will age it to before selling


 and that is what I did today March 9th and really like it, above the last leg not done and below done


it adds dimension and old feel. I waxed the entire table and legs to seal it all. It is now ready for sale.

  1. I really like this! It's such a pretty table, such delicate, slender legs. You did a great job, I love the color and the aging technique you used too. Bravo!
