Trash picked chairs advice
-
Janet Pizaro on Jan 11, 2016I would definately cover the backs of the chairs for comfort. I cannot tell what the bottoms are wood or fabric, however I would also do the bottoms as well to blend with the look of your table.Helpful Reply

CK on Jan 11, 2016Lots of ideas come to mind...but it would be really helpful if we could see your breakfast nook and the table you intend to use it with, as well as a few leads for us as to your preferred style. There's a coffee shop in our town that has these exact chairs. :-)Helpful Reply

Linda Santo on Jan 11, 2016The bottoms are fabric and really need new covers plus 1 is missing a seat (remember, trash picked LOL). I'll see if I can get some pictures tomorrow in the light. ThanksHelpful Reply

Ranger on Jan 12, 2016How about putting them side by side, removing the existing seats, and putting some aged wooden planks over the both of them. Like a bench seat?Helpful Reply

Jean on Jan 12, 2016I would take advantage of the imprint of the coffee sign. Take off the seat and paint the whole thing a light color. I would make the coffee depression on the back of the chair stand out by painting it black or another contrasting color. Cover the seat with fabric in a coffee design you can find at most fabric stores.Helpful Reply

Johnchip on Jan 12, 2016It is the coffee cup design is the only thing that makes them unique and interesting. That has to be the highlight and saved. Surely some kind of mocha and cream tones on the seats would be appropriate or using a retro color on the cup and seats..Helpful Reply

LD on Jan 12, 2016The chair that is missing the seat base, just needs to have a new new one made. I would let these chairs become a conversational pieces for your dining room, by reupholstery the seat with a lively piece of fabric, then pull a color from the fabric and paint the wood, and finally paint the engraved steaming cup of coffee gold.Helpful Reply

9530106 on Jan 12, 2016If you recover the seat, you could also decoupage a piece, on the back. (Cut to cover the whole back piece, of course.) It would highlight the coffee cup nicely, esp. if you paint the black.Helpful Reply

Judy Gordon on Jan 12, 2016I like the coffee cup and steam on back of chair. If mine, I wouldn't cover up that part. Just a personal thought.Helpful Reply

Cindi on Jan 12, 2016I think the seats would look great if you had a nice piece of wood cut, and stained, and got a small table and made a nice little seating area for coffee, etc. Not sure what the cost would be, but I like that sort of look for these. The back is simple, but nice, so I'd keep that as it is, and having two matching chairs, it would make a nice set, to keep or sell.Helpful Reply

Mickey Baron on Jan 13, 2016Cover the coffee cup? NOOoo that's its personality! It needs some cleaning, maybe spray paint. Find a new, pretty print, maybe with turquoise in it for the seat cushions.Helpful Reply
