Some things are just better in pairs. Like aces. And lovebirds. And concert tickets. And pants. And chairs! Here come a pair of a pair of chairs. Get it? Two makeovers, two chairs each. Four chairs total. Pair of pairs. Oh, the math is killing me.
First, if you like your chairs funky with a capital FUN, then cast your eyes on these zebra lovelies from Better After reader Emily. She more or less inherited them along with a whole houseful of furniture when she bought her home. That would be a selling point for me too.
And Jilly, from the Girls With Good Taste, who never disappoint, didn’t want to go to all the trouble of reupholstering this set of French arm chairs, especially since they were going on either end of her kitchen table. Thus, she needed maximum wipe-ability, so she painted them with several coats of latex for a vinyl-like feel, and a stripe or two thrown in for fun!
