That's why this chair is so great. I found it on the curb, plus it was in terrible shape. No need to worry about "ruining" it ;-) Also, this chair was worn out enough that it didn't need to be sanded. Score!
First I painted it white, and then I just "hit it" with some blue. If you're looking to use this technique, be sure not to do too "perfect" of a job... but feel free to use a little masking tape if you want so you can be free with your brush strokes!
Next, I wanted something pretty on the seat. So I got my inspiration from this piece of fabric. Isn't is beautiful?! (Ok, I know I'm a more colorful person than most... but I love it!)
So I just painted it on one color at a time!
Voila! From a beat up curb find to a style that's all mine!
This is an oldie, but a goodie. So I'm linking today for:
What a great chair! Thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog :)

Isn't it funny how the blogs that we keep returning too we find similar characteristics that we find in ourselves. I guess it's because we can truly relate. Now, I'm not as artistic as you, but I have an old chair in my basement that I've been wanting to something with and a small rocking horse and my husband just shakes his head. I absolutely love your new treasure!

I am a painted wood kinda girl too! Your chair turned out fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWay to go! You turned this chair into something really unique and colorful. I can't believe you painted that flower! So NOT my talent! Fun project to share!!
ReplyDeleteYAY for color! I'm a huge fan of "if you don't like it, paint it," regardless of the finish. And this looks great! I'll be linking.
