Dining Chair Do-Over

Before

This picture doesn't show just how gross this chair was but it was a nasty mess.



We took the chairs apart, sanded and primed them and sanded them again. I think we could have skipped the first sanding.


We made templates from the old chairs. We could have just removed the old fabric and cushions and used the old bottoms. I am crazy OCD so I preferred new. 



We sprayed them with a pressure fed pot sprayer using an oil based paint.





This was our first chair makeover and we had no clue what we were doing. So we did what every self-respecting  DIYer does, we YouTubed it. William Eisenberg at Eisenberg Upholstery has some great videos. He skips all the cheesy introductions and such and gets right to business. He'll even answer any questions that you have promptly. Super impressed with this guy.
