One plus about this project was that there was no "factory finish" (which is sooo hard to remove) and also, these chairs were sort of rustic anywho...so if I didn't sand so great in some spots and the stain was uneven...all the better, more personality!Believe it or not, I actually enjoyed this project and I did 85% of the work (usually my hubbie is the 85%er and I am more like 15%) but this was low stress and hard to mess up! the only downer was all the curves on the chairs made it impossible to use the rotary sander...had to do a lot by hand! thanks again for all the encouragement! Feelin' so warm and fuzzy!(pillows from target (?) old times...5 yrs ago, bought for a fouton we used to have! heeh!)thepainterfamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03460206307038444602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6872492476452964343.post-24266321402787914532007-11-12T19:58:00.000-08:002007-11-12T19:58:00.000-08:00Are you serious?

The chairs look AWESOME! I'm always looking for stuff like that on craigslist but you just can't find much of the solid stuff anymore. You can find "antique" or "shabby chic" but that only translates to "crap".*K*R*I*S*T*Y*https://www.blogger.com/profile/11250833584665168819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6872492476452964343.post-25053169198890700792007-11-12T16:17:00.000-08:002007-11-12T16:17:00.000-08:00You are just so darn talented!
