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!

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.
