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.

Pitch Black Antique Chair


One of my great customers gave me this antique chair stored in an old building and I knew it would be perfect painted as a staging prop.


I decided to go with a neutral black, Old Fashioned Milk Paint in pitch black to be exact.

I recently used it on this gorgeous antique gate leg table, my daughter's bed frame, and as a base coat on this pretty chalkboard.


OFMP goes on so smooth and took only 1 coat


It was then sanded well to reveal edges and details and sealed up with Daddy Van's hemp oil


This antique chair now has a pretty new look
