Have a seat

 Our four dining room chairs are done (2 more to come soon) so I thought I'd give some insight into the process.

 Step 1: acquire your clean, unfinished furniture, fresh from the store

Step 2: (not shown) disassemble, making sure to number each chair and seat so they fit together afterward

Step 3: apply primer to avoid nicks to heavily used furniture

Step 4: make a huge mess out of your living/dining rooms while everything is stained and painted

Step 5: re-assemble and enjoy the view

Step 6: sit and eat!

Step 7: buy two more chairs and repeat steps 1-6
