Little Tea Pot tea party

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.

Solid wood children's size table and chairs are hard to find it seems but when I have found some in the past there is always a line up. I actually had 2 sets last year before Christmas and just so happened to score another set this year. And I knew the perfect color for it, my new favorite of the year, little tea pot from Fusion Mineral Paint tones for tots line.

It had been stained royal and red then painted over with a light grey

but after a good sanding and scrub down it was ready to paint

bring on my favorite color, little tea pot and gave the base 2 coats as well as both chairs

and stained the top a dark all in one stain/poly 4 coats and walaaa
