Turquoise and White Chair Transformation

Hi everyone!  I'm here for my monthly post from Restoration Redoux!

It's finally Fall!  It's been a long, hot summer, and now that the cooler temperatures are here I can finally walk my dogs (Gracie, Charlie and LuLu).   It's a good thing since they were starting to get a bit pudgy.

We have a busy month ahead of us with my daughter getting ready for her Homecoming dance:  new dress, shoes, jewelry, spray tan, hair, and nails done ... it's enough to break the bank.  So I decided it was time for me to start on some more of my furniture pieces so mama could make a little money.

First on my agenda were these beauties:

I found this set of five chairs at a yard sale this summer.  They were in good shape, but they looked dated -- and those green cushions had to go.

I painted them with a black, chalk-based paint followed by several ivory coats (this went much better than the last set of chairs I did).

Once they were dry, I distressed them so that the black would show through.

I then found this super cute fabric on clearance, and I knew it would be perfect for these chairs.  I attached the fabric with a staple gun, making sure to pull the fabric snuggly ... and Voila!

They look brand new!

I hope you all have a great Halloween! I will see you next month!
