my chair

We're going to be redoing our kitchen soon, and we're adding a desk space in our kitchen layout.  I needed a chair that wouldn't take up too much space to put there.  Instead of buying a new chair, I decided to refinish a chair we already had.  Here's the chair:


I took off the cushion to take it apart so I could reupholster it.  After that, I did three rounds of stripping the chair, sanded it with rough, medium, fine and then extra fine sandpaper, then wiped it with denatured alcohol & tack cloth.  This is what it looked like after that:



After that, I spray painted it with a black satin spray paint.


I reupholstered the cushion with a soft, tan upholstery fabric.  Here's the final result:



I'm pretty happy with my "new" chair!
