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.

Salt & Pepper in Dixie Belle Drop Cloth



This sweet set is combined with the above pepper grinder and the below salt shaker. The below pepper grinder was also done in another farmhouse white but with another salt shaker partner.


I like to mix and match pieces as it seems there are always singles to be found.


All the above pieces were done in the same gorgeous "Drop Cloth" from Dixie Belle Paint. 
Here are the green crate, the strawberry crate and the candle holder makeovers. 


The salt and pepper pieces each got 2 coats drying after each followed by a coat of Dixie Belle's best dang wax in clear to seal them.


And as the final step, again from my Dixie Belle's sack o' wax I chose brown wax to add detail, dimension and age.

    Your salt and pepper shakers are perfect! I would never had thought they didn't belong together if I hadn't seen the before photos. I especially like the slight size difference. I picked this as one of my features at this week's Snickerdoodle Create Bake Make Link Party.
