I got the chairs!
9 years ago
They put the Fleur-de-lis dining room chairs on sale! We went today and I got 2 of them to go at the heads of the table. I am doing a happy dance.

Got the Chairs~ Plus Dining Table Refinishing *After* Pics
Comments (8)trailrunner, my friend also said she likes it black (the table legs). If I could photoshop I could try it out in white before I paint it. I really want to get away from the black but it might be better. For the table it just had paint on the bare wood. sanded it with orbital sander (took 3 or 4 days) and then applied 4 thin coats of water based polyurethane (sanding in between coats) and waiting a day between each coat. No stain thanks for your encouragement! I see what you mean about the tile not being french country but it does have going for it .. it is neutral. I hadn't wanted to put a rug under the table because it is just such a PIA to clean the rug. Right now it is soo easy care but you aren't the first one to mention a rug so the space must need it LOL I like persian rugs in blue and yellow. there are a few I like Or a natural sisal or jute. But now that I think about it with the tile being natural.. a natural color rug on top of it won't be adding much! But then again, it could work. How about the table legs And the bench a butter yellow? Or the table legs and the bench white? If the table Legs And the bench were both in white .. Then I go do this large hutch piece for the other side of the fireplace in the painted yellow? I gotta have something painted the yellow LOL plus I am planning to get white painted counter stools for the breakfast bar this is so hard. I am not good with so many choices and decisions. thanks for your tips, Loretta...See MoreI got the chair!!!
Comments (18)Great looking chair! nice score. (But I love the traditional stuff; "goes with everything", just like black pumps and a white blouse). I'd be careful about the stains, too. As stains "set" with time they get harder to remove. And if the fabric is a natural fibre or moving into its "twilight years" you can easily do more damage than good! Definitely ask your trusted pros.. Sometimes, it's better to "live with them" until you're ready to recover the piece....See MoreCaned barrel chair; upholstery redo. Pics!
Comments (17)suziq-92....I originally planned to look for a match, but didn't find anything "exact". So I purchased 2 off white leather club /theater chairs and I'll use this as an accent chair. I may make matching throw pillows with the left over fabric tho.....:0)...See MoreCL Chair before and after
Comments (15)I used BM paint that I had on hand. The fabric feels like the fabric used for outdoor cushins. I imagine it will soften over time. Its not for show. I will use the chair in my living room. I would love to paint my sofa but I think that if I did (which is very unlike because I'd be 100yo before I talked dh into it) I would paint everything but the cushioms Then I would redo the cushions in a velvet. Feels like leather/pleather...sortof. The chair is made with a raised? flocked?? design. In terms of durability, I think paint makes the fabric MORE durable. Only time will tell. I painted a seatee a few months ago. It still looks great....See More- 9 years ago
