Dining Chair Makeover!

I'm in the process of bringing whites into our house...today I finally finished our dinning chairs! Let me just tell you...

..IT TOOK FOREVER!!  I've grown tired of all the wood in our house. Wanting to drench our home in all whites is my mission, Remember?!

Our dinning set is completely rustic...most of our house is furnished in rustic pine furniture. Although I still love this style, it is dark and looking sad to me lately. I'm craving light & bright! I love pine...it's forever forgiving when you have 4 kiddos running around. It only gets better with age! You can slather it in a zillion coats of paint and it's forever beautiful. Well that's coming from a girl who loves all things rustic anyways!! 

I started by sanding...all 8!  I figured this would be a simple, quick project. Hahaa..glad  I thought that then, I may have never started. Many days of 1 coat at a time during nap times..each chair took 3 coats (using paint with an added primer)..it's like  painting a chair 24 times...now you see why this was a never ending project? 

I think those projects that take so long seem to be the ones that are most rewarding. I love them again!!

I used the same paint color as I used for our cabin kitchen (Cream in my coffee). It's my favorite!! The seats were stained with walnut...I love the combination of the 2! Since I love all things rustic, they received some fun distressing! 

I love how they turned out...it's already feeling brighter.

For now, our home is one step closer to being completely drenched in whites. It's a bit overwhelming to think of all that needs to change to get the look I'm craving. One project and a gallon of paint at a time.  

Thank you for stopping in...I hope you have a wonderful day!!

Love,
