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.

Driftwood Stain Oil Finished Kids Table and Chairs


Taking an IKEA kids set from below to above in these steps


Step 1 : take apart with allen wrench and power sand all solid pine pieces all sides and wipe well


Step 2: Use Homestead House's stain and finishing oil all in one in driftwood and apply


Step 3: Let dry overnight and apply a second coat, sponge sanding after each coats is dry.


Step 4: I chose Fusion Mineral Paint in the color little lamb, a soft grey, and applied 2 coats on the chair seats.


I thought about painting the table top this grey as well but decided the scrub-able  surface is very appealing so left it original.


The two tone look works great


Step 5: put all the pieces back together and this IKEA hack is complete
