I few weeks ago I was driving through a small town that I always pass on my way to my parents home. There are a few little antique and thrift stores on the main street, so I usually drive 10 km so I can take a peek at the things displayed outside. Well, I saw these 2 wire chairs and I looped around, took a look at the price and was sold. $5 for the two, perfect! I took them up to my parents and thought about what I was going to do with them: put them outside on our front porch, a chair for my basement desk, put in the kids room or find a table so the kids could have a sitting area in the basement. Well I still don’t exactly have a home for them, but in the meantime I wanted to spray paint them a fun aqua blue!
Before and After Wire Chair Makeover
Before
These wire chairs were turning yellow, but overall they were in great condition.
I gave them a quick wash with soap and water. Once they were dry, I used two cans of Krylon ColorMaster in Ocean Breeze and did three coats for maximum coverage.
After the first (light) coat.
*When spray painting anything, its always better to do a few extra coats then two heavy coats.After
The chairs turned out amazing and the colour is so refreshing! Best $15 spent :)
Now, what would you do with these pretty chairs!?
Thanks for reading,

Miss Angie says
Super cute! That chair still looks uncomfortable though! Haha, it may be better for decor than for use!
Kassandra says
Haha it’s actually not bad! Looks pretty though ;)

Such a great find! I love the bright colored metal next to the yellow curtains and wood mirror–so many great materials and textures in one little corner. Great choice!
Kassandra says
Thank you!! I love this little area too, I just wish there was more room for both chairs :(
Jaclyn says
I already said it on IG, but I LOVE how these chairs turned out!!!! That blue is the perfect cool tone for them. You could even make cushions for them at some point! (I recently posted about my DIY project making cushions for bookshelves that I turned into benches. :D Super easy!) By the way, I loooove your site design! Adorable and clean and chic!
Kassandra says
You are the sweetest! and totally made my day :) Thanks, I will have to check your post out, because cushions would be perfect, especially this these chairs don’t look all that comfy lol
