I had a bunch of old chairs with no seat covers kicking around, and rather than do the usual chair refinishing, I wanted to try making a bench from them for something different to do. So I built the centre panel and the seat out of wood planks and once it was all secure, everything was prepped with shellac and stained/painted. I love the look of a dark walnut stain with dusty robin's egg blue, so after the bench was stained, painted, and distressed it all got a few coats of varnish and wax to finish. Now the two lonely chairs have melded together to make a fun statement piece that is also quite functional!
