Black and White Stylish Bench

3 / 23 / 183 / 24 / 18

If I had to refinish and repurpose all the items that I own, I would have done time and time again. Unfortunately, with my busy life, this fun hobby is almost impossible. In the past couple of years, I managed to find some way to do some of the items that I love. The bench shown below is one of those items.

– Ornate chair

9 / 23 / 111 / 19 / 18
 

So back to my project, 4 different chairs for the kitchen table, one paint color and one fabric like I mentioned here.  I can go a little crazy in the kitchen that is OK 🙂


I bought an old ugly Burgundy chair, yes it was a very shiny burgundy chair, but I liked its ornate and carved details.


I didn’t sand it, I just used Kiltz Spray Primer ( or Zinsser), then I paint it with “Valspar Aqua Ocean paint”. Then I realized that the ornate top that I fell in love with is loose 🙁
This is what happens when you are so excited and you don’t pay attention to how sturdy is the piece that you are buying. To fix it I used “Elmer’s Wood Filler” and “Gorilla Super Glue”. Lightly sand the wood filler and paint over it.

– First Upholstery Project and First Blogging Post

9 / 2 / 111 / 19 / 18

Well, I didn’t know that this project would be the start of a long journey. I did not take any pictures of them before as I had no intentions of starting this blog.

I want to start by thanking Kate at Centsational girl blog because she is my inspiration when it comes to refinishing furniture.

I started looking into this when we started looking for two additional seatings for the dining table. We had 6 chairs but our dining table can fit 8 easily. My husband suggested Craiglist. It was my first time looking at used furniture on the net. After a short search, I found 2 chairs in similar shape to our chairs. They were brown with dark navy fabrics. My husband started laughing when I told him that I wanted to buy them.

After sanding (my husband’s job as I hate sanding,) I spray painted with “Rustoleum Heirloom White” to match my existing dining chairs. Some more sanding I matched the antique effect of my other chairs.  Finally, upholstery (step-by-step guide will follow in later posts.)
The initial choice of fabric:

 

 

Then I changed my mind because I felt that I need something that is more elegant and formal

 

 
 

Here is a picture of my upholstered DIY chair next to the original chairs that came with the dining set.

 
 
 

 

 

Actually, I love my DIY chair better than the original ones. It is comfy, elegant, and cheaper.
Some of the details
