Chairs

So when Crit and I moved into the house he got the couch, dining room table and chairs for dirt cheap on craigs list. Chairs are shown below (left) and you have probably seen them in other posts. As you can tell, they suck. So we took on the project of sanding, painting and re-upholstering them. After heming and hawing about the paint color for a few months, the actual work part of this project probably took about a month. It was not too bad once we got it down to an assembly line like process. I sanded all the chairs first, then painted them, while Chris was using the staple gun to re-do the fabric. Pics are below, sorry they are so grainy.
