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.

Country Chic blog post #7 ~ Nesting table in teal hues


Nesting tables.. perfect pieces to save space but improve functionality when needed. I purchased a set in the tired orange stain and immediately thought fun colors. I did waiver on safe shades of black/grey but in the end, my love of color prevailed. I choose my new favorite, Country Chic's Aurora as the first color. It is such a pretty color but I am sad it is a limited edition color, perhaps I need to stock up on another pot! I had yet to try dark roast, a lovely shade of coffee brown so that went perfect with aurora for the smallest table and I choose a teal paint I had on hand for the largest table.

A quick scrub and painting began. The limited edition Aurora is the all in one formula and the dark roast is regular. I am a fan of Country Chic's regular formula and this dark brown color did not let me down.
 good bye orange stain, hello Aurora

I gave all 3 tables 3 coats of dark wax to seal up with a soft finish. I tried out my new large wax brush from Country Chic and LOVE it, it is the perfect size and applies the wax amazingly!!  Once finished and posted it did not take long for these beauties to sail out the door.
