Who knew that French bistro chairs were a hot item right now? Not only for French decorating bloggers like myself but all types of design styles.
I thought about getting some French bistro stools for my kitchen but I didn’t want it to cut the line of sight around the island. I’ve loved them for years and knew a friend that brought some back from France 20 years ago for her French inspired kitchen.
They can be quite pricey so I thought this might be a good post for someone wanting a bistro chair but finding a cheaper way of getting the same look.
I had this chair for a couple of years and was about to give it away when I why I bought it in the first place, it looks like a French bistro chair without contrasting colours!
Let me show you how I took a plain black chair (and where you can buy it!) and paint it to look identical to a French bistro chair.
And the best part is I’ve kept this chair black and white so you don’t have to paint the black parts!
Disclosure: I received compensation to complete this project using FrogTape painter’s tape. All opinions and ideas are my own. To confirm, you can read the little story I share at the end of this post.
Here is the black chair I had – the Almsta rattan chair from Ikea. It was just begging to be a French bistro chair.
