A Change in the Kitchen

On Friday while it was cool and raining outside, and while I really should have been buying groceries, I all of a sudden decided to pull out the Old White chalk paint and paint the wood backs of my kitchen bar stools. I had been wanting to do this for some time and kept putting it off. Well, the mood hit so I went for it. When Mr. Savvy came home from work Friday he just rolled his eyes again.

This is a before shot taken a while back.

Here they are in progress. One sanded and one not.

I heavily distressed them and as you can see I also recovered them with some red ticking fabric that I already had on hand. That was the fun part pulling all the staples out of the old fabric.

 

Don't look too closely at the upholstery job. Putting fabric on a round circle is not very easy.

 This shows how each stool is different.

I waxed them with clear and brown waxes and buffed to a shine. This job was done in just a few hours and cost me nothing except a couple of stuck fingers from the staples and I hammered a finger.

What did you accomplish this weekend? Hmmm?

I hope you have a super week!
