I love inheriting or finding (for very cheap) furniture that I just know could be beautiful under the right circumstances. A beautiful solid piece with good bones. I recently sanded, painted, and stained these chairs that I had purchased at a thrift shop for less than $5 each! I didn't take a before picture, unfortunately, but they were an ugly hunter green (one of my least favorite colors) with the wicker seat still a bland untreated surface.
My next project on the list is a wonderful solid wood table that we will be using as an oversized desk, and two accompanied chairs. They were given to us by A.'s parents. They look great structurally, buuuut- here's that unpleasant hunter green again with a stained wood surface (blah!).
I've been taking a few months to decide what to do with the pieces and have finally settled. I am going to prime and paint the trio black, and possibly distress them. After photos will go up as soon as it's finished!
*Update- so here is the set after being painted! I did it a while ago but am just now posting the photo. It is in use as a project table for the littles, until we eventually need to use as a desk.*
I love the table and chairs, I have totally been looking for something solid like that to use as a desk for sooo long.
