A pair of chairs

A pair of chairs to a bench

I had two of these chairs, one of which was beyond repair and half painted, I enlisted a partner in crime, well bullied big bro into helping. He removed the backs off the chairs and framed the two together :) 

I added a lathe of wood either side inside the frame to hold the seat, cut planks to size and screwed them in place.

I painted the frame with a grey undercoat and then sprayed with rustoleum's graphite.

Then sanded back the finish in places to give the piece a distressed look.

I cut a 2" foam to size.

Lastly I covered the seat pad in a grey linen upholstery fabric and my two old chairs are now a bench.
