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.

Limited edition Ocean Breeze


Funny how some plain boring wood chairs can look fabulous with a bit of paint, take this plain boring well used but solid wood dining chair,


then take a tub of Country Chic's limited edition paint called ocean breeze
and after scrubbing the chair well, give it a coat of this easy to apply all in one paint.

when dry, distress simply with a sanding sponge on areas where wear normally occurs like the seat edges and spindles

 and to add to the aged look, I hand painted with a wee brush white liming details in the crevices



and then to give a bit more durability and shine I put a coat of clear wax over the whole chair and wahlaa, here it is..

wood should NOT be boring, grab a brush and some paint and make it pretty!!
