is finding a matching set of four chairs!
Single chairs are everywhere, but it's not so easy to find a nice set.
Don't they look nice and pretty now?
Chairs take forever to paint, so I used Behr's Ultra Premium Plus paint and primer in one in a soft green called Wasabi Powder. At least that eliminated the priming step.
The fabric was a remnant I'd picked up at another barn sale a few months ago. I was planning to make some pillows. But I love the cream and green combination and I had just enough fabric for the four chairs.
When recovering chairs, I always replace the foam and batting. It's just a good idea to start clean, fresh and cushy!
What a sweet fabric!
And there you have it! Not just one cottage green chair...
but a lovely set of four!
I think they'd look dreamy around a cream or natural wood table!

Great find! I am on the hunt for 6 chairs...last year I passed up a set that was only $75/set...and am still kicking myself (i was out of town at the time...but still!). LOVE that wasabi color!
i looooove these chairs!!!! what a great set!!! and a great find! i am going to finally get some painting done this week and i can't wait. my parents are super and being so accommodating so i can work.... i need to as a stress reliever! :)
I absolutely love that green colour. Yes, I too am very fond of Behr's all in one paint. I have used it frequently - it sure saves alot of work. Lana www.lifeatwildberrycottage.com

so Beautiful!!!
What a terrific score, Sharon! You're so right. It's hard to find that many nice chairs, at a good price, and in decent condition.
Thanks for joining the party again this week.

They look so fresh in that shade of green! They're great chairs, and good for you to find four of them!
Good job! I like the fabric you've used.

Love your set of chairs. I agree, a set is so much nicer. Love the green and cream. You did a very nice job with the makeover.
Hugs, Jeanne
you did a great job! I would love them around my white table!
ok, so regarding the paint you recommend..do you have to sand?
I think the fabric is totally perfect. These will sell in a heart beat. Thank you for linking up to Open House Party. I sure do appreciate it!
I seriously LOVE these!! If I had room for them and could get them from your place to mine I would be there in a heartbeat. LOL! The fabric choice was perfect too. Thanks so much for sharing this at Inspiration Friday!
