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.

Horse Mounting Block Project


My youngest daughter wanted a mounting block for our arena and was lucky enough to have wood and paint on hand to do just that.


First step was to build the mounting block out of deck boards that were pulled off my daughters deck when they built a new one. I love the fact that the wood was repurposed rather then being burnt or buried.


She wanted a turquoise color (hers and my favorite color) to paint it in. I pulled out my can of turquoise Rustoleum's Chalked ultra matte paint .
 

She painted a nice solid coat on with a Rustoleum chalked paint brush and let it dry.


To seal the chalk paint I sprayed on a few coats of Rustoleum's chalked protective topcoat. It is now ready for use, bring on the horses.
