I stopped by ‘Such A Find’s Aged Oddities’ last week and found this gorgeous pair of antique school house chairs. They are a bit worn and will require a little love but will look so sweet in a little boy’s bedroom.

Here is what I am thinking. I love the combination of color on the chair legs and the stained wood seats.

Refurbishing used furniture is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint. These little cuties won’t take up space in a landfill and new trees won’t need to be cut down to make new chairs. Plus they add character to any home because they come with a story. I’m sure many children spent hours learning new things while sitting in these chairs. Hopefully our boys will too.
I would LOVE to hear any ideas YOU have for these great chairs!
Ooo… I just got an old chair last weekend… and I was thinking of painting the legs and back frame a solid colour (cream) and then staining the seat and the back horizontal pieces a rich dark brown… can't wait to see your finished chairs!!
I would stain a number on the backs or the seat of the chair, black and faded with a medium toned stain.
Love those chairs! They are precious!! It would be fun to stain them in a colored stain. It is colorful and you can still see the wood grain. I know ikea has some. I have used their green stain and it is really pretty. Whatever you chose to do will be great, those chairs are too cute to mess up.
Great chairs! I picture then with a gleaming ebony stain.
Those are great looking chairs. I'd lose the Pottery Barn look and paint them some amazing, bright colors with fun prints on the seats. I wouldn't do anything serious with them. I think they could be wonderfully stylish. Hope you'll stop by and see our upholstery ideas. Jane F.
I love those chairs and I like the idea to paint them like the PBkids ones. So cute.
btw, thanks for visiting my blog. It's always nice to connect with another twin+1 mama.
