FINALLY 2 CHAIRS!

Yep thats right I FINALLY have 2 normal chairs to go with my table I finished.
I forgot to take the before pictures but I bought them at the DI for $10 a peice and they were in pretty bad shape! The cushions especially were stained and nasty but not any more!




The pictures really don't do them much justice they are beat up and aged and I think they turned out great!
Oh and I discovered the most amazing thing ever! Kilz primer! I can't believe nobody has told me about this stuff before. It completely cut my time in half for these chairs. I read about it on allthingsthrifty.com if you haven't been to her site before you need to check it out cus she does some amazing things. But she said that she uses Kilz primer instead of sanding. I was blown away by this so since I already had one of the chairs sanded I decided to spray the primer on the other one that wasn't sanded and they look exactly the same! YEAH! I am quite excited about this because sanding is by far the worse part about it all and it takes the longest! So hello Kilz primer! I'm going to get so many more projects done now!
Now I just need 2 more chairs and a bench!
