Remember these guys? I bought them on Craigslist last Fall and asked you all for some input on what should do with them.
I love a good DIY but these were a little more challenging than I had anticipated. The wood wouldn’t take normal stain and I wasn’t feeling painting over the wood so I thought we were stuck. After a little research, I finally found gel stain and it worked like a charm.
After staining it I took it to a local upholsterer and had them re-cover the chairs in West Elm’s dove gray velvet. It’s such a gorgeous fabric!
They’ve made it all the way across the pond and they’re perfect in our little flat.
What do you think?
LOVE what you did with the chairs. I am still debating on what to do with my cane chairs. I love that gray velvet and the dark stain!
Love them, they are seriously gorgeous! Gray and black is always a good combo!!
Very nice! Love how they turned out!
Natalie, these look great! Such a good find!
Seriously SOO gorgeous!! Classic lines and colors! LOVE!
Oh my gosh they look so beautiful!! I love the velvet and KW pillows!! Hope you are settling in!
Love West Elm Dove gray! That is what color my sofa is. These chairs turned out so well, great job!
