the chairs are stripped and primed! along the way i found some great things to make the work, less work!
this paint remover is the BEST!
we used a different one on the first chair and went through the entire can and a lot of scraping and steal wooling. we used this one on the 2nd chair and only used probably 1/4 of the can and no scraping or steal wooling! it was pretty toxic! don't forget your chemical gloves but it was fun to watch. the paint just bubbled up in pretty little ripples-looked like smocking on a dress! then just wipe it off! i'll never use another!
then we came across this gadget in the paint isle.
i've never seen it before but i'm sure it has been around. you just attach it to the top of your spray paint can and it makes it so easy! no sore finger! and it was only a couple bucks! double great deal!-i would pay more!
now we need to decide on color. we have been considering everyone's ideas-thanks for them-the dad added his color idea-yellow. a creamy yellow i think. so i will take all of my ideas to the paint store and see what they have available and then decide! can't wait to see how the chairs turn out!

WOW, looks like you guys are putting in some hard work. I'm sure it will look great once it's all finished. Thanks for the tip on the spray paint. That makes things much easier.
Thanks for posting on my blog. I love your blog name. It brought a smile to my face.
Good Luck with the chairs, I will be excited to see what colors they end up being. Such a fun project.
