The truth is almost 30 chairs have come into this house

over the last month from one place or another.

I think the Chairs for Charity Auction has something to do with it,

Im sure its a conspiracy and I will get to the bottom of it or die trying to get them all done.

These 4 tired 70s dining chairs came to me via Uncle Ronnie.

While I was working on the last set all propped up in the driveway

he stopped in to let me know they were on the roadside just up the street.

Bird poop and all

Great Upholstery ... oh the memories!

Some arms missing ... of course both left arms.

So I amputated the 2 remaining right arms, cleaned, and repaired everything

They got a sprayed coat of a custom blue I mixed.

Plz dont asked about this color ... I started with Provence but it was like a mad scientists lab on the kitchen counter while I added a touch of this and a drop of that trying to achieve something.

BTW I didnt achieve what I wanted.

Then I dry brushed a light grey over the blue,

but it didnt give me the light bright overall appearance I really wanted.

So they all got a good painting of white and because of a few rain showers

they got to dry in the kitchen.

My cat doesnt get to go on the kitchen island but apparently freshly painted furniture does!

I still wanted a punch of the blue to come thru so they

got a good edge sanding to bring it out.

This time I did have the black toile in the house,

I had picked it up with the red toile that I purchased for the last set of chairs.

The first layer of upholstery is more durable drop cloth

then covered with the toile.
