Furniture Flip Alert! 🛠️
Over the last few weeks my Dad and I spent time together transforming these chairs that were given to me to flip. These chairs have a neat metal mechanism that rotates and can change heights, but they were in rough condition!
Dad and I made a plan by looking at all the pieces separately. It was looking like we could get about two good chairs out of the bunch, but then we started thinking about, what if we didn't use the spindle parts? ... So we did a test chair! We mocked up a stencil and cut out rounded square seats from the original chairs. Once we had the seats cut we sanded them and used a router to make softened edges that matched up with the rounded corners.
Dad stabilized the bases with glue and nails to help with the structural integrity and to square up the legs so they didn't wobble.
Next I took the pieces home and filled the holes on the bottom of the seats with stainable wood filler and got to staining. I played mixologist to get them as close as I could with mismatched legs and tops - mixing Dark Walnut stain with Ipswich Pine.
Then we went back to the shop to use the drill press for pilot holes and then attached the bases to the seats.
Final steps were to go to Ace to get a thumbscrew that was missing from one of the chairs, and then touch up the stain.
Such a fun project and I am really happy with the results. Let me know what you think in the comments!

We decided to re-Zhuzhe this coffee table. Adding gray detail wax to the Groovy 1970’s Coffee table.

New project!
This beat-up mirror was found next to a dumpster 😲 Yesterday was the perfect day for prepping the peice.
The photo below is the before... so excited to finish it!

Check out this custom dresser and nightstand!! Big difference between the original pieces and the finished product. What do you think?
