Chair Makeover

Last Saturday I started a couple thrift store projects.

 It was a perfect day to spray paint and I know those are numbered.

I thought I would share a couple of them with you.

I had already taken the seats off when I took this picture.

I wanted to try something new. I painted them red first . Then I painted them with a flat white.

I wanted to distress them and have the red come through.

Hubby found this adorable little bench at a sale.

 I think he paid $2.

 I had the gingham fabric from a previous project.

I didn't distress it very heavily.

 It was my first attempt  and I decided if I didn't like it , I would just repaint it.

I did kinda like it.

Chair #2

I really like this one.

It has great bones.

I covered the seat of this one with a vintage tablecloth.

I love to use vintage fabric. It's so sturdy.

It's faded in places , but that's ok.

It just adds character.

Hubby didn't like it.

 He thought it was a bad paint job.

He obviously doesn't get distressing.
Em thought I should have distressed it more.

Addie said " chair cute Grandma."

Sarah liked it too. She said it was Shabby Chic.

I love my girls !

To distress or not to distress?

What's your opinion?
