Needing Some Input...

So these two lovely chairs were passed down to us...

They've got a ton of character, but obviously need a little TLC. But what exactly should we do with them? Paint them a neutral color and cover the cushions with some fun fabric? Or should we go with a daring paint color and keep a neutral cushion? Decisions, decisions!

I mean check out the details on these chairs. We really want to make these chairs shine, and would appreciate any input! So, what would you do with these twin chairs?

From Drab to Vintage Chic

The huge front porch of our 1920's bungalow was in desperate need of some seating. But not just any would do; it needed to match not only the era of the house, but also my liking. After searching high and low, my mother-in-law found these old things {an equally ugly pair} at a garage sale:

I could not wait to get my hands on them to fix 'em up! The hubs and I made a quick trip to the hardware store to grab our supplies:

• Rust-Oleum Clean Metal Primer
• Rust-Oleum Hammered
• Valspar Outdoor Color + Protection spray paint (Satin Spring Sprout)
• 3M Paint & Rust Stripper
• Shiny {stainless} bolts

And after a little elbow grease and TLC, voila, almost-new chairs...

The chairs also needed a little cushion, so we made some easy-to-sew lumbar pillows in a bright, springy fabric. 

I absolutely love how the chairs turned out! They're not only chic, but oh so comfy. The little Boo Boo loves to rock in them with mama too!
