When we bought the house, we quickly got a real table. However for quite some time we managed with the folding chairs and stools we already had. But a few months ago I found some thrifted chairs at Habitat for Humanity and decided to work on a new project. L'inspiration viens de là:
My inspiration came from here:

La première étape fut de poncer et nettoyer les chaises.
Mismatched chairs united by a same color. Color wise I hesitated, either blue or red. In the end I went for the Roasted Pepper by Behr. The same as the DVD tower a friend of mine made us. The first step was to sand and clean the chairs.
Prêtes a être peintes.
Ready to be painted
Then I worked on the paint. The darker chairs took the paint really well and already looked good with one coat, I did two anyway. No need for a primer since it's already in the paint. However the white chair needed a third coat.

After the first coat.
On a aussi acheté une chaise a Ikea. Je pensais la peindre elle aussi en rouge, mais je me dit maintenant que ça ferrait peut être trop. Du coup je crois qu'on va plutôt faire un effet rouge et noir, de toute façon la table est noire.
We also got a chair at Ikea. I was thinking of painting it red too, but now I think it might be too much. So we might go for a black and red theme since the table is black anyway.
Vous en pensez quoi? Je garde la troisième chaise noire ou je la peint?
What do you think? Should I keep the third chair black or paint it?
