Belly Up to the Bar - In Style!

These bar stools were so solid that when Mr. Biff brought them home

I didn't even wince (not even a little) at the horrible mildew on the

seats.  I was sure we could do something with them. 

I first tried sanding - um, no....nothing.  I then tried a bleach based

powder cleanser and a scrub brush....um, still no.

I tried some peroxide.....yeah, ah, nothing.....so I did what every good

DIY'er would do - I pulled out the Zinser primer and primed the living

heck out of them. 

I wasn't satisfied with the thought of painted seats and I surely didn't

want to paint both chairs (I am not fond of painting chairs) so I

pulled out my staple gun, some burlap, some foam and some batting

and covered the seats.  The seats unscrewed easily and once covered

screwed right back on.

After a good wipe down, a little clear wax and a touch up here and

there with my trust brown and black Krink paint pens - voila!

These chairs were a test of our theory that we could purchase

something and quickly turn it around without a huge

investment in time and materials.....

I'll let you know once they sell if it was

a success or not!
