I started with 1950s Heywood Wakefield- style school chairs in our furniture stock. Seat cushions were 2” upholstery foam covered in a teal outdoor faux vinyl. Piping was a gray vinyl with tie line as cording. Seat backs were made with the same teal faux vinyl spray-adhered to the wood, with piping glued. Chairs were then sanded and distressed with a brown paint wash and shellac. Chairs were used as bus seats, locker room benches, and diner dressing.
