Materials: very old IKEA chairs, nonage on them, spray paint and 8 covered buttons
Description: Found these chairs at my local thrift shop.
Removed the pine colored legs and spray painted them Oil-rubbed bronze.
Covered 8 buttons with a sunburst material.
Drilled holes through the back.
Sewed on the covered buttons to make it a tufted back.
All in under 30 minutes!
