Over Easter weekend, when my parents were in town, we worked on repainting our dining room chairs. (You may remember the sneak peek I gave you last week!) They were previously a wood finish, but I asked my mom and dad to help me create a patina finish for the chairs. My mom has done a number of patina finishes on things in her own home but also found some inspiration from Pinterest to gather ideas for the finish on my chairs. If you're interested in doing something similar, check out her Pinterest page for ideas!
My dad sprayed the base coat on the chairs, and my mom and I spent Easter weekend doing a paint finish on them. The upholsterer did a fabulous job covering them, attaching the seat cushion, and embellishing them with a solid cording and brushed chrome nail heads.
Here is a close-up of the great work done by the upholsterer:
Now that, the chairs are complete, the dining room is really coming together. The upholsterer is still working on solid slipcovers for the four smaller chairs. I eventually would like to get a rug to go under the dining room table.
Thanks again to my parents for their help with this project! We are so glad that our chairs are finally finished!
