The dining room chairs part 4

This project took me a total of 2.5 days from start to finish. It started as a simple hammer and paint job, and ended up a complete chair set facelift. Now we have four chairs that not only match, but that are updated and will match the finished dining room.

Although I am fairly happy with the finished product, as usual, I learned a few things.

What I would do different next time:
- Prime before painting. Will I ever learn?
- Sand better the caning that holds the seat in place on the fourth chair
- Sand and paint the caning earlier on so that it’s completely dry when I hammer it in place
- I’m not sure if I would do the seat of the fourth chair the same again. The original flat-cushion method was simpler and would have matched two of the other chairs.
