Anyway, on my way home from Dinner one night I stumbled across these two dining chairs that a someone in the neighborhood had thrown out and placed on the curb. Ordinarily I would have left them there because I really don't have the room to store anything in my apartment; but there was something special about these chairs. I could see that beneath the chipping cream/brown/possible greenish paint and fuzzy chartreuse 70's shag upholstery was something beautiful.
Fast forward a year and they are sitting in my Living room taunting me! Constant reminders of why I don't "curb shop".....
So the challenge is on: Paint and reupholster these chairs before LABOR day. (We'll see how this one goes kids, even I'm a little skeptical!)

Feel free to leave your suggestions for upholstery and paint colors! I can use all the help I can get.......
Whats the color of the wood underneath that paint. In my opinion I would love to see that chair strip to the wood and the wood refinished. That's if the wood has a good grain.. I see why you picked them up, I would have too. Nice style..
