What a divergence a coat of pigment tin make!

I've been pining over the hold off of traditional vintage dining room sets amongst dark chairs in addition to dark tabular array bottoms where the tabular array ambit is left amongst a natural woods finish. (similar to the tabular array in addition to chairs shown inwards the photograph below)

Then I came across an sometime dining room ready that was decent character in addition to inwards pretty practiced shape, but desperately inwards involve of a makeover. The hunter greenish chairs in addition to tabular array were however living inwards the 80's! Thankfully the tabular array ambit was never painted, but left amongst it's beautiful natural woods finish. I knew in addition to then in addition to in that place that I had establish the perfect candidate to transform into the dining ready that I e'er wanted!

Check out the earlier in addition to later photos:

DIY: The kickoff affair I did was take the seats from the chairs in addition to painted the chairs black. I used Satin Black Rust-oleum satin pigment from a tin (classic low-sheen destination smoothen protective enamel paint.) I prefer mitt ikon amongst a brush every bit opposed to using cans of spray paint. Not alone do I savour brush ikon because I detect it relaxing, but I intend brush ikon gives yous a to a greater extent than finished, professional person look.

If yous prefer spray painting, it's available inwards a spray pigment too!

After I painted the 4 chairs, I painted the bottom component of the tabular array in addition to the tabular array legs amongst the same paint. I left the tabular array ambit as-is, amongst it's natural woods finish. (you tin run across the tabular array ambit inwards the photos below) I dearest the hold off of the natural brownish woods against sleek black! (Don't forget to pigment the extra table extension piece!)

The sometime topographic point stuff was outdated burgundy in addition to was glued to the topographic point every bit opposed to existence stapled, thence I was able to easily pare the sometime stuff correct off of the seat!

Next I put out the sometime chair embrace stuff over my novel stuff in addition to used it every bit a template to instruct out the correct size of stuff for each seat. I only cutting correct roughly the sometime fabric, leaving an extra one-half inch or so. Easy!

Here yous tin run across my novel stuff beneath the sometime fabric.

Next I pulled the novel stuff roughly the topographic point in addition to stapled amongst a staple gun.

I wanted sage greenish walls inwards the kitchen in addition to dining room (my kitchen leads into my dining room - the previous owners knocked downwards the wall that separated the rooms) amongst ane opposing dining room wall painted plum. The pigment colors I chose were:
