I was tickled when she contacted me a few weeks ago about helping her with her kitchen makeover! She recently purchased a lovely black pedestal table, but she wanted her chairs to bring in a fun pop of color into her kitchen.
We started with four of these beautiful Napoleon-style chairs, which she originally purchased at Down East Home.
Monday I gave them a light sanding, and then wiped them down with Liquid Sander (love that stuff for chair legs and spindles). I was so happy to see the sun!!
Next each chair was painted a different color!There's creamy white, pale yellow, lime green, and aqua blue.
The best part? Jen only needed to buy a sample pot of paint for each chair. That's only $3/each, and she has some left over for frames or knick-knacks. (I am loving Behr Ultra paint lately.)

I have to admit, I thought they looked so cute at this point I hesitated to glaze and distress them...but I did anyway. ;-) The pretty curves and details stand out so much better.
The edges are just lightly sanded, and I used a black glaze to tie in to Jen's black table.After glazing and distressing, each chair got a few coats of Minwax Polycryclic for protection.
They turned out great! I told Jen that if there had been eight chairs, she might not have gotten them back...
But after all, I think they look better in her kitchen, don't you?

Korrie! You are amazing. Thanks for playing such a key role in my makeover. I am almost done! :)I am looking for a small shelf/hutch to fit in a small pass-through area in my kitchen. Let me know if you run on to any good ideas/find. Thanks again...the chairs are more beautiful than I imagined!! :)
Love the pastels with the black! Great Job!
Now those are just too fun!
Now it appears I need to buy paint for my chairs around my table. That looks so lovely. They have personality and cohesiveness. Well done!
I just want to sit at that table with some girlfriends and play cards, it looks just so inviting! A great redo!

Love, love, love!!! What color did you use for the blue chair? I'm starting a hutch re-do this weekend and that might be the perfect color for the back wall!!!
I love the stools, no the chairs- allright I will take them both! Do you live close by? Or maybe you could just post them to Workshop Wednesday. It would be a great addition to the party!
Such a charming project...I love how each chair is a different color! Hopped over from Savvy Southern Style!
Those look great. Love the different colors with the black table. Great job. Thanks for joining WUW.
What a lovely look! I really like the fun colours and although I know it is a tough decision sometimes to distress, I think it really adds to the look and ties in nicely with the table. A charming room that she must be very pleased with.
Thanks for sharing this @ Workshop Wednesday. Hope to see you this week!
I have been thinking about doing that to my chairs but I couldnt picture them well in my mind! Thank you for the inspiration!
