Hello, I am new to your website and am very impressed with the metal chair you redid. It brought back memories of when I was a child and I went to visit my grandfather–he sat in metal chairs in his backyard (because my grandmother wouldn’t let him smoke in the house).
Also, from time to time, I have seen old rusty chairs I wanted to redo….because they are so comfortable and durable–but I didn’t know how to do it. Now after coming to your website “I do know how to do it”. Thank you for the information. I am looking very forward to learning more from you two busy bees–I love your creativity.
Thank you Linda, you’re kindness is so appreciated. We are so happy you were inspired by this post. It is certainly a doable project. My grandparents had chairs like this in there backyard too. I love to bring these old pieces into my home. It does bring back a flood of memories. Have a wonderful day!
Couldn’t have looked any prettier if just brought home from a new purchase, you did an outstanding job!
Thank you so much Lela, I appreciate your kind words. I absolutely love the way it turned out.
I don’t know about “easy” steps Lol. This looks wonderful!!!
Well, depending on the amount of rust . . . but when you husband offers to get off the chipping paint, the painting was the easy part.😉 Thank so much!
I happen to have two of these oldies but goodies sitting in my garage that are getting rustier as we speak…lol! You did an amazing job on this one! I’ve been waiting for my deck to be built before I did them but with the price of lumber now, I’m not sure how long that might be so I better consider getting them done. I love the detail you added, it brings it up to our century! I just love those old chairs though, they are so well made and will last forever!
Thank you Shirley for your kind words. So true that these chairs were built to last. I believe my chair is about 60 + years old and I plan and getting quite a few more out of it. Good luck on refinishing yours. Share your results, we’d love to see!
