Do you mean to keep as a chair, or to make something new out of?

If you are refreshing the chair I have painted dining rooms chairs with both chalk paint and fusion mineral paint. The fusion mineral paint is more durable and stood up better to family life and young children. Ensure you thoroughly clean the chairs to start with to ensure there are no grease marks

If you are looking to completely change the chairs I have converted chairs into a bench

I particularly love, but have never done this myself, the chairs that are cut to create shelves,
