Bar stool restoration project


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am going to be moving to Wilmington soon since I will be starting my Junior year at UNCW and I am finally getting my own place. When my sister moved out a few years ago for her freshman year at college she didn't want any old furniture and wanted stuff almost new. Well I know my parents spent a ton of money on her move so I told them for my furniture the cheaper the better and free is best. Anyway my mom found these two bar stools behind a dumpster at her work and set them aside for me. They are in good condition and just need to be painted and reupholstered. I spent $35 total on paint, fabric, and foam for the stools. I am changing the chrome finish to a dark grey hammered finish and the black upholstery to a dark grey/black vinyl. Here is the work so far.

Here are the bar stools, there are two of them.

I took some steel wool to them to get all of the pitting and rust off

Then it was time to paint

Progress looks good so far, but did you have a beaver trim the foam for you? ;)

Haha I think a beaver would have done a better job. All I had was my pocket knife on me so I had to make due.

Finished up the bar stools today. I had to go out and buy a staple gun to get it finished but I got it done.

Got the seats wrapped.
