Golden Makeover for MCM Chairs and a Barley Twist Table

I try not to over-make my makeovers, i.e. I believe less is more when possible. So, when I set out to fix-up a barley twist table and a pair of MCM chairs I wanted to leave as much of the original finish as possible intact.

The wood on the chairs was in fairly good shape, just a few scratches that needed some furniture polish. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep any of the three layers of chair upholstery fabric because they were too stained.

I chose a golden yellow velour to recover the seats with.

The fabric is soft and definitely has a MCM vibe. 

The top of the table had been repaired. It had a split all the way through it that had been glued, but it was still visible so I decided to paint the top of the table to match the chair fabric.

You still can see the repaired split, but it seems less noticeable and I like the pop of fun color with the wood. 

These two chairs and table make a great side seating area in a family room or bedroom.

I love that I was able to keep the original wood finish and just needed to give this a minimal update to freshen them up.
