Check out this video for an overview of this project!
For this DIY, we used Amy Howard Home products to give that shiny spray lacquer look. For the vinyl cushions, we used One-Step paint and a clear wax .
We removed the cushions to make it easier to paint without worrying about paint getting where it shouldn't.
We used spray lacquer on the legs, giving a light sand in between coats. On the cushions, we used Amy Howard One-Step paint, also sanding lightly in between coats. Then we added a flower to complete our look. We hope you enjoyed this tutorial and feel free to click the link to see the full tutorial!

Nice job and how fun! I found two office chairs with arms at the Rescue Mission. Had sat there for months-nobody wanted them....they were waiting for me! LOL!
