The chairs were bought with this finish however, if you are able to put in a little elbow grease, you can easily achieve the same effect. You have to begin with chairs stained in the colour that you want to appear under the distressed paint. Give it a very light sanding with fine sandpiper. It does not need to be sanded perfectly as a more uneven base will give you a more distressed look. Before applying the paint, wipe the chair down thoroughly and let it dry. VERY LIGHTLY dip a dry, wide paint brush into your paint. This is very important. Make sure not to put too much paint on the brush or you will not get the thin layer of paint you need. Brush a thin layer of paint on the chair. Let it dry completely (better yet, let the paint cure over the period suggested by the paint manufacturer). Once dry, sand the areas on the chair that you would normally see wear and tear (seat, back where you would grab the chair, middle of rungs etc). Give the chair a good wipe down once done and complete with a layer of varnish or polyurethane. Make sure to apply this in thin coats versus one thick coat. Sand lightly between coats and wipe down. Voila. Good luck.

Where were these chairs purchased?

The chairs were purchased with one of our wholesale accounts which is not accessible by the public. They are no longer available as they were a special purchase. Best of luck.
