the scarf I posted yesterday
was lying on an old chair in a few of the pictures
a chair we already sanded at that time, ready to be painted
last weekend was very sunny and we were ready to work on our six wooden kitchen chairs
out came the sand paper, out came the paint
and on we went, the husband and me ~ so much fun !
six chairs we collected in the nine months we have been living in Canada
quite a catch if I may say so myself
they are all 'old' or vintage or may be even close to antique
and I like them in their own style, with their own stories : who has been using them ? in what kitchen ?
~
this is actually a teasing post, because none of the chairs is finished yet
they will all get a minimum of 3 layers of paint so we will be busy with them for a while
and you have to wait a little longer before I post a real 'tadaaa'
but... I am, and we are, very satisfied with the results so far
as you can see the sun was so bright, I was not even able to paint outside, it had to happen in the garage
in the shade and out of the wind
but what a lovely and perfect weekend to do so

more about the colors I choose and more pictures soon...
are you into re-doing furniture at all ?
They look amazing. I seriously can't wait to see which colors you have chosen. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Special K XoXo

So darling...I love your pieces. I just adore old chippy chairs. Hope you are well my friend....xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWe actually have the same project. We sold all our chairs before moving. But so far we have only found one chair. Luckily the man who lived in this house before us left some stools so we don't have to sit on the floor. That is until we find more old chairs.
Those chairs are just divine! I have an old chair that used to be in my Nan's kitchen, it has saw marks in the seat from where she used to cut firewood on it! I love it. We love doing up old furniture too such a satisfying thing to do. Enjoy your painting. ♥
ReplyDeleteoh i love the final product, although I loved the rustic chairs too :D
ReplyDeleteI love that the chairs are all different. Would be fun to have a set all in different colors, too. Have a great rest of the week. Tammy
ReplyDeleteWat een mooie collectie stoelen hebben jullie opgebouwd Maaike! Ik ben heel benieuwd hoe ze eruit komen te zien als ze straks klaar zijn.
ReplyDeleteVeel succes met schilderen!

Las sillas son hermosas. Veo que son de buena madera. Es un trabajo para realizar con paciencia. Disfrútalo.
ReplyDeleteEl resultado seguro será muy bueno.
Saludos.

Prachtig project.
ReplyDeleteInmiddels ben ik zo gewend geraakt aan een regelmatig bericht hier dat ik mij na een week toch wel begin af te vragen of alles goed gaat. Hope you don't mind me asking? Misschien gewoon even on a break of to busy for blogging?
