Here’s yet another furniture makeover.
I bought these Chairs and the Dining Room Table for $30!!!! off of Craigslist {of course!}. One more item to fill our once empty dining room.
I thought they were kind of ugly, but there was certainly potential there. So, I took off the cushion, painted the chair, recovered the cushion, and put it all back together again. It contrasts nicely with the hutch that I did with a black base with blue as the main color.
The chairs {and the table, whenever it gets done} are painted black with a blue base.
What do you think?
I love how the blue just peaks through the black. They’re not too black with that bit of blue accent, I think.
This Amy Butler fabric is a great print for these chairs … the blue with the dark grey and white compliments the finish nicely.
Thanks for taking a look at my dining room chairs! Just one more fun furniture redo!
Update! These were FEATURED over at Night Owl Crafting!!!!! Hoo Hoo!!!!!!!
I linked these chairs up to Martha’s Favorites.

Hi Brittany! Thanks for your comments!
I actually didn’t spray paint these. I randomly and messily painted on the blue … no need to be pretty and perfect. Then I went over it with black paint (not dry brushing though) and rubbed off with a damp paper towel (you can use a rag if you want). After that was all dry, I went over it with a black glaze (paint, water, and glaze) to ‘blend’ in the blue a bit so it wasn’t so overpowering in places I rubbed too much off.
Take care,
Tara
I {heart} the Amy Butler! They look fabulous!
These look fantastic! I can’t believe how well they turned out.
That fabric is perfect for the chair color! Just lovely!
Thank you so much!!! Thanks for stopping by!!!
Really well done! I recently refinished a little rocking chair for my daughter and after the fact, wished I had used two colors like you did. I like the look of one paint color peaking through the other.
Just one question…do you use an electric sander? If so, any recommendations?
Wow – I LOVE the new chairs! They look amazing. Beautiful fabric!
So, why didn’t you use the original fabric? ….hee hee… Beautiful transformation! I’m working on a set right now as well but the weather here isn’t cooperating – it’s too cold for the paint to dry smoothly. errghhh… Congrats on your frugal re-do! -diane
These chairs came out great! I love the blue showing through!
Your chairs look fabulous! You’ve inspired me to get started on my own set of hideous chairs (complete with orange and gold tassels). Thanks for the great post.
Wow! They look amazing! I love your fabric choice too!
It looks great now..You’ve done a good job..Pretty! Happy 2nd time around Tuesday.
Hi: Great redo! Did I miss the tea cups? I will come back later to check. Have a great day! Blessings, Martha
I love how your chairs look. Great job. I didn’t realize a step would be painting the blue underneath. They go perfectly with the seat covers. Love the look.
