Your chairs are gorgeous, love the subtle color. They'll go anywhere and congrats on finding the PB look alikes. What a score. My hubbs can't seem to see what I do with my bargains but when I'm done he's not so doubting. I like it and have learned not to let him discourage me. He has very different tastes from mine. <br />Keep reading about the awesome finds people get at their goodwill. Guess I just don't get there soon enough. The prices at ours in Grand Junction, CO have retail prices. We have a thrift store in a small town close to us so I find more things there that are more affordable.

You got a great deal!<br />I bet your husband likes them now that they are painted. I love your banquette and think that matching cushions all around would look fabulous!<br /><br />xoxo Bunny JeanBunny Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687082260887039604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862006788392225338.post-12535225373733388902012-06-01T16:59:24.729-05:002012-06-01T16:59:24.729-05:00Oh, these chairs are perfect for your little nook!...Oh, these chairs are perfect for your little nook! Nice paint job. I think a cushion would be nice, or you could just do a little tie on slip that kind of lets the wicker show through. I have used the Minwax a lot and actually love the finish you get after buffing. You do have to work hard! I have used all kinds of waxes - the expensive and the cheap (Minwax) and I think they all have their positive points. If it is the buffing you don't like, you won't like any of them!karen@somewhatquirkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02772267613790523188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862006788392225338.post-46635727538688151062012-06-01T16:53:06.881-05:002012-06-01T16:53:06.881-05:00HoLy CoW....these are amazing and if you'd not...HoLy CoW....these are amazing and if you'd not told us where you got them, I would have guessed PB.

I love the natural feel of the seats as they are but then I picture someone sitting on one wearing shorts and I then I think I would want a pad on it. I'd have the pads made and then you have them to try out. If they don't work for you, store them for when little guests are visiting for nap pillows?

I too bought some plaster of paris in hopes of making my own chalk pain. I've heard lots of stories about drips and blobs of plaster, so I'm glad to hear yours turned out okay. Makes me feel more at ease to try mine now. <br /><br />I've enjoyed this post, so I'll be adding it to twitter in a few minutes.
