Bar chairs weekend makeover!

 This weekend I made a fun little project for myself out of redoing these chairs.

I purchased these chairs on Thursday night, at a local new Goodwill grand opening, I paid 14.99 per chair.

 I first primed and painted  the chairs white.

After the paint dried I distressed the details with a product called rub n' buff, in a blue green color.

The cushion is actually covered twice. I first covered it with white fabric (just a white sheet). Then I went over the white with this blue lace.

I then added on this little ruffle I made with the ruffle attachment on my sewing machine.

I love that these chairs are even so cute from the back . They look great no matter what angle you look at them from.

Currently I am on the hunt at thrift stores and on craigslist to find a small pub table to go with these chairs

 
This weekend I also painted and distressed this mirror, I recently purchased at goodwill. I am Still debating on the perfect place to hang it, most likely the mirror wall I'm planning on doing.

Thanks for visiting my blog!

    Hi Jenae!

    Those chairs are PERFECT! How do you seem to always find things at GW that are so spot on for your home?!

    I enlarged the pictures to see the detailing and just LOVE the color!

    The cutest part is the picture of the doggies on those high chairs ;)

    Thanks for sharing these at my Bunny Hop Party!
