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.

chalk paint updates task board

So I did my experiment on cork, the internet said it would not work but here is proof that my homemade chalk version updated and made this task board look almost new. It is half dry erase, half cork and it worked like a charm.

    Once again it is amazing what a bit of paint and TLC can do to a piece. Would have never thought to paint cork
