DIY Project - Chairs/Bar Stools

We WERE on a roll with our projects for a few days...unfortunately, we are in a little bit of a lull right now, but I have full confidence in us that we will be back soon.

We got these chairs for free, so we decided to try and make them work for us.

I think it's obvious why they were not working for us :)

The first step was for Dusty to saw a couple of inches off from the legs - the chairs were too high to fit under our counter.

We didn't have to sand this time since the texture of the chairs was rough.

We did two coats of primer...

and two coats of paint.
We found fabric on sale at JoAnn's Fabric and then used a staple gun to re-do the cushions.

I know the chairs look a little rough where we painted them, but the giraffe looking finish that was originally on it seemed to be some sort of paper.  Anyways, we accepted the fact that they would look a little worn.  Regardless, it was a big improvement from what we started with...in my opinion anyways :)
