Paint your chairs for $49.00 instead of reupholstering

I painted both chairs for $40.00 instead of reupholstering them myself.  If I found material for $10 a yard, I would've needed 5 yards for one chair, making the material itself cost me $100.00.  This doesn't count my time ripping both chairs apart and putting it back together.  

Sign me up!!! 

 1 Quart Behr battleship grey paint

 Add 2-8 oz. bottles of fabric textile medium from Hobby Lobby

(mix it really good)

 The chairs with the first coat of paint on them

Let it completely dry

2nd coat of paint

I sanded the chair material down after it was completely dried.  It gave it a soft feeling to the chair.

Put a third coat on the chair, let it completely dry, and sand it down once again to give it that soft feeling you'd want to sit down and relax on.  I also sanded down the feet to the chair, painted them white, and glazed them with a dark brown stain to give them an antiqued look.

 All done.

I love sitting here!!
