Dining chair redo, part 1

Yay, I have a new project! I scavenged some dining chairs from the sidewalk this morning (yay trash day) and plan to redo them. Here are the before pics.

I plan to remove the seats first, then sand, prime and paint the frames. Then I will replace the foam in the seats and recover them with new fabric. I am thinking chocolate brown paint for the frames, with a topcoat of polyurethane to make them glossy and shiny. And I like this fabric for the seat covers, from jcarolinecreative.com:



Thoughts?
