How to Update and Outdated Chair

When I purchased a kitchen table at the thrift store, it came with three, outdated, less-than-lovely chairs.  Hello 1990!

I almost left them at the store, but I had room in my truck so I threw them in, and I am happy I did. I eliminated a few parts and pieces and added some paint and barnwood to update the outdated!

I cut the back rungs off with a jigsaw and removed the arms and seat. I then lightly sanded the chair and painted it green (Bay Leaf). 

I spray-painted the brass wheels with black paint and added a reclaimed wood seat and back.  I screwed he boards in for the chair back and used the nail gun to attach the seat boards, Some Special Walnut stain and clear coat finished the update.

So much better, right?
