Gail Salminen on Mar 25, 2015@Lightfeather these are great chairs, I definitely wouldn't trash them. Have you considered the brown paper bag treatment (I used postal paper from Walmart). If you check out @Ashley @ Domestic Imperfection posts you will find one for brown paper bags - I did this technique on a bookshelf and a living room table. It looks really unique - like old leather. You can actually use a wood stain in different colours as they have red, blue, green etc. these days. I used a reddish wood stain on mine. The project is just so easy you won't believe it. I finished with a few coats of polyurethane. Do let us know what you do and post pics please :) Thanks for posting.Helpful Reply

Reggie on Mar 26, 2015I would paint or stencil a design and then go ahead and get 2 inch foam and cut a cushion and upholster the seat.Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on Mar 27, 2015LOVE the cobalt blue but depends on your colour scheme. I'd sand the seats and put poly on them. Perhaps you could get some tie-on seat cushions including white and cobalt In an abstract floral or stripe.Helpful Reply
