The chair has been painted and enhanced, the seat has been improved and covered.

It's a chair again!

The sun is still shining, so here goes the first coat of paint. 

 

                                        coat #1

 

First coat is on the chair, it's cold out here, time to get inside and bring the chair inside. I should be able to paint the 2nd coat on inside !

And the Seat ! Some measuring and cutting and just a few staples !

It's time to finish sanding and then paint the chair. It didn't really work to sand inside as I don't have a good studio space for that, so while the sun is shining I'll bundle up and get to work !  It's a little nippy outside, but the sun is great and as long as I keep moving...

And then there's the issue of the seat, there really wasn't any support in the center.  It didn't occur to me to sit in the chair when I picked it up.  Now there's some support for your seat on the seat!

The basic chair frame is in good shape. The seat has it's own frame, not exactly what I was expecting.  I'll work on the seat later.

 

No seat

Now to the sanding....

The chair is going to get freshened up quite abit. With a new seat and fresh paint. Here are some snaps as I start. 

 

Removing the seat from the chair wasn't so hard, only 2 of the 4 screws were actually holding.

There were certainly alot of staples and a few carpet tacks holding that fabric in place !

How many tools does it take to pull staples ?
