Duck Egg & Burlap Dining Chairs

It’s Wednesday, which means my child-free and carefree days are coming quickly to a halt for summer! I have been trying to cram in as much work as I can this week.  A couple weeks back I shared with you this antique dining table with a base painted in Annie Sloan Duck Egg.

The friend that I purchased it from also had a set of 6 chairs that went with it.  After I removed the seats I realized I needed a before picture.  Here are 3, even though there are 6, and one with arms. πŸ™‚

Using my trusty duck egg chalk paint and Golden Oak Briwax from Rockler, I went to work.  I followed the same steps I used on the table base.  I then recovered the seats in burlap because I felt like the chairs would pair well with the table and wood top that way.  Here they are now!

See- one with arms!

Emmy said to me that at first she thought they were our chairs, but then realized they were different.  She told me they were so pretty because they looked like ours.  Clearly, she recognizes that Mommy has style and if they look like Mommy’s they must look great! πŸ˜‰  To refresh your memory, here are our chairs…

I am headed off to the barn for a day of work!  The dining table is already there waiting for its chairs to arrive… I will be sure to snap a picture of them… reunited!

Happy Wednesday!

    I’m congested just looking at that burlap. They are so very pretty but I can’t breathe. πŸ˜‰

    Do you spray or use a brush to paint your creations?

    Love the chairs Cassie. The burlap and Duck Egg combo is great. Did you wash the burlap before using it on the seats? Did you have to line the seats with something under the burlap? I’ve always wanted to try a pillow or something in burlap, but it’s so still and hard to work with and seems to be totally see through. Yet, when I see it on finished pieces, it is great!

    These look so good, that I think you’ve motivated me to paint my kitchen set duck egg blue! (of course, I’ll have to change everything else so maybe I shouldn’t.)

    Pretty! I love the whole set! How are the burlap seats on your chairs holding up after some use? I’m tempted to use it on mine when I recover them but was wondering how they were doin’. XOXO

    Hi Cassie – I bought and repainted a table and chairs that are almost identical to yours. I love that you left the top on the table natural. I think the wood was mahogany and very pretty. After seeing yours I think I might want to strip the top and restore it to what it was. Ugh!!! Lotsa work! Thanks for sharing, Patti

    I’m wanting to refinish my kitchen chairs, first time ever! I’m sure this is a silly question, but I’ve been trying to figure out how to get the seat part off of the chair. I can’t figure it out! Is there a typical way that they’re put together? Help much appreciated. Sorry if this is a totally dumb question!

      hi katy! not a dumb question at all! so typically if it is just a seat, it unscrews from the frame of the chair and then you can recover and screw it back in. if you flip the chair upside down you should see 4 screws under the seat frame.
