I have seen them painted in bright colors (Each surface ,a different color) then highly polished or coated with a thick clear glaze. I have kids who, in art class, did a project where they were supposed to paint a copy of a master painter ( Monet, etc) on the chair or whatever furniture they chose. I have a table top with a great reproduction of Picasso's' Old Man With a Guitar. .

If they are all in this good condition, just clean them up, touch up with some gel varnish!

Cindy Miller · Answer

Chalk paint in black would look good.

I have a chair like this and never knew what it was called! I'm going to sand mine and paint in bright, funky colors just for something different and out of the ordinary in my house:) Hope you will post pics when you're finished.

Realy like them the way they are. Why not just do funky seat cushions! Easy to change out when you get tired of them.

Great. Mine has a metal plate on back. I have more with numbers also under seat.

I saw someone on Pinterest who decoupage color comics from the Sunday newspaper and it was adorable. How about a combo of chalk paint and decoupage?

Susi Schuele · Answer

Paint them white and 'dip' the legs in a pretty coral or turquoise blue. Pinterest has several examples. Another thing if you are very artistic is to paint them with bold designs and patterns in a Boho theme. Good luck. Let us see the results!
