Oh how I wish I had taken a picture of this chair before I painted it!! I found it at the Habitat Restore for $6. It was dirty and ugly but I thought the lines were good so I decided to try my hand at painting it. Why not since I've painted everything else in the house?! All I had to do was lightly sand it. I used the same SW oil-based black paint that I used for the kitchen island.
The seat cover gives you some indication of how bad the chair looked overall. 
And here's the finished product! The fabric is a reminant I found for $10 and still have some left over for another project. I plan to use the chair in the kitchen at the built in desk.
