A few weeks ago I did something I haven't done before- I bought one style of chair in bulk. It happened by chance. I saw a set of four vintage Shelby Williams bentwood bistro chairs on craigslist and decided they would be incredibly chic when painted. When I went to pick up the four, the gentleman told me that he actually had 21, if I was interested in more...the price was right, so I bought them all. It's been fun to see how different paint and upholstery can completely change the feel of a chair. I redid four for our music studio, four for my little sister's new apartment, six to go with a round oak dining table and six to go with an antique rectangular table. Which is your favorite set?
So here's the before
And all the afters!

And a bold set of four in merlot red, distressed and dark waxed, with striped upholstery for the music studio. |
Love them all! Maybe the red or the yellow are the very best? It sure changes their presentation to do that.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I like them all.
ReplyDeleteHave you thought about doing some in grey? For some reason I am finding calming grey decor on Pinterest.
So gorgeous! I think the red ones are my fave with yellow a close second. What a lot of hard work. It sure paid off!
ReplyDeleteAll are fabulous! For me the sea foam green is to die for. The cream color is a close second. Really enjoy all your creations.
