Comission at Viva Taqueria

I'm diving into a commission project for one of Ithaca's Mexican restaurants, Viva Taqueria (www.vivataqueria.com)! I've picked up five of their dining room chairs and 15 pails of paint left over from other interior design projects. I'll work on at least these five chairs and a dozen stools for the taqueria side of the restaurant, and then perhaps some more chairs for the cantina side if the first five work out. I got some great advice from the folks at Ithaca Paint and Decorating Inc. about what materials to use on "high traffic" chairs like these. I'm looking forward to the weekend--great chair-painting weather has been forecasted!
