MY CHAIRS 
In rooms. More photos can be found on the Tour page.
Updated photos of my chairs from May 2012 can be found here, so you can see how they look after 15 months.
SUCCESSES USING MY METHOD
Thank you all for being inspired and willing to give it a try! There are some great transformations below. The text above the image tells who created it. Some are links to complete blog posts they did on the process and their experience.
What a great way to upcycle! Drop them a line letting them know what a great job they did. I will be updating these often. Feel free to send me photos of your painted chair or links to projects that you know about that are not listed here.
