I love a good Craig’s List find, while picking up a dresser the owner asked if we were interested in any other furniture. Long story short after two trips we ended up buying 2 chairs, 2 stools, and the dresser.
Matt Removed the cushion for me and all the staples holding the fabric down

I love the new color of the chair..great job!
Jacque n Matt Knowlton says
Thank you! I was smart enough this time to paint some of the color on a paint stick so I can try and color match when what I have mixed up runs out.

Thank you so much! I just wish there would have been 6 chairs instead of two! If you haven't tried distressing with a furniture scraper I really suggest investing in some. They are on sale right now at Woodcraft – these are the ones we use.

This is one of the first projects I have planned to do once we get moved.
Our dining room chairs just need new covers and I figured I can do it myself. Did you remove the old ones first or just cover over the old? Just curious! Thanks. Great job!
Jacque n Matt Knowlton says
Since I did not know the history of the chair cover and we found it in a stinky storage room I went ahead and took the old fabric off. But since you know where your chairs have been I would save myself a step and just leave them on. Removing staples can be a real pain.

THat is a sweet chair! Great find! Often when I pick things up from others, I have learned to hint a bit that I am always looking for furniture or sometimes just coming out and asking. You would be amazed what ELSE you can find! LOve the chair – and the little animal on it as well! Very pretty! Thanks for coming by to link up – please come back this week to link up as well!

Thank you! I have to be careful when I hint about other things because I usually find 5 or 6 more things I'd love to snag up … only so much garage space though hahaha
