Mahogany chairs - with gray paint & light distressing

These chairs are another customer order, from the great couple that I just finished the Duncan Phyfe table for . They’d been buried under layers and layers of paint for years.  Really. Ugly.

This is the vibe we were going for…..and I think we nailed it!

The chairs got a gorgeous coat of medium gray paint in a satin finish, a little light distressing around the edges, and I finished up with a clear coat of wax to seal them.

Set of 4 Chippendale style chairs

This item has been sold IMG_7332These beautiful Chippendale style chairs were in fantastic shape. Aside from the ho hum cream fabric and the mahogany stain, they were structurally sound and in fantastic condition for vintage chairs. All they needed was a little paint and fabric and voila, new chairs! The set includes 2 armless chairs, and 2 captain’s chairs.  I painted them with the same color as this adorable country style, solid pine table – they make the perfect set for your kitchen or breakfast nook!
