So a little background about my dining room set & chairs. When we moved into the house 2 years ago, I set my sight on having Thanksgiving here. I wanted everyone to see my new home, not really thinking about all the work it would take it to get it ready for company. None the less, I bought a dining room table and 4 matching chairs at
Home2Home in Dayton. Awesome store for second hand furniture! Anyway, I saw these 2 additional chairs and thought that I could strip them and restain them to match the other set. They were $10 each which was a steal!
The chairs came home and after trying to strip them twice, sanding them, using a Dremmel sander the stain never fully came off. So I decided that I want to paint them (and the other 4 chairs) black. I'm leaving the table as-is and will get a black sideboard.
So here are the chairs after all the sanding:
I sanded and started refinishing these babies. Pictures, my problems and more after the jump.
