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.

Farmhouse White Kitchen Collection



This collection of kitchen goodies was compiled with plans of doing all in a lovely farmhouse white.


They will all coordinate so can be bought together or individually and fit into most kitchen decor schemes when done in a pretty neutral.


I went with Fusion Mineral Paint in Champlain; a soft warm white. All but 1 piece was painted two coats, most were lightly distressed for a further farmhouse feel with Fusion's ageing wax added for even more dimension and vintage look.

this coffee mug tree is first up




followed by 2 solid wood paper towel holders. One was left more modern with no ageing wax or distressing.




There is loads of slots in this solid oak knife block

And this expandable accordion style wall rack can hand either direction and would be fabulous to hang vintage tea towels on, mugs, the entry for hats / scarves or even in the bedroom for jewelry. So versatile!


Here is a combo of them all :)
