Much better, don't you think? Let's take a closer look.
Just white paint by Behr called cotton knit and some sanding. You would think that it would be an
easy project, but chairs just aren't that easy to paint. Anyway, it is done and it looks so much better.

Hi Kim~ Your chair looks darling all white and shabby and Happy Anniversary to you and Mr. Savvy!!! Thanks for hosting!
Hi Kim. I like that chair re-d0. I got a "new" old chair yesterday, and I'm going to do the same thing you did! I wonder who will be first to get those dining room/kitchen chairs painted...you or me?! Linda
Kim ~ love the chair. Just perfect!~
Love it!
Chairs are so hard to paint... especially the spindle-y kind!
Just the perfect amount of sanding.
I need to take lessons from you.

The white redo looks so fresh in your guest room, Kim. It was a good decision.

Happy Anniversary, Kim. We celebrated our 36th this summer, but I'm afraid I was older than 19 when we married. ;-)
Like the new look for the chair. ~ Sarah

You are the Queen of paint! Lovely chair! There was no wow in me to link up this week, but I did want to wish you a happy anniversary! Thirty-six is no small achievement! Many happy days ahead!
O, sweetie girl..if I could stay in your beautiful guest room, I would cook day and night for you...and then dance a jig each night. I love love your pretty house.
I am thrilled to death that your new meme is soooo popular. Love it!
Happiest 36th anniversary...and many many more.:))

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Hope you took a break from painting furniture to celebrate :)
Your chair looks great...they are time consuming aren't they, with all the spindles, etc? Always worth the reward in the end though.
Happy Anniversary!!! I got married at 36! Love the way you transformed the chair!
Kim ~ I'm linking up for the very first time ~ hope I did it right
Cute as can be now! I think you need my project on the wall above it!
Kim, the transformatiion of the chair is gorgeous! Because of the dark finish on the original I might have walked past it, although the style is really pretty. With your painters eye, a really beautiful piece was created for next to nothing!
WOW, I love the transformation. Well done, Kim! =) ~Liz
It looks great Kim. Chairs are hard to paint, with the spindles....very tedious, but worth it for sure!
I agree completely- chairs are not easy to paint! But it looks fabulous now, so well worth the effort, I'm sure!
This is my first time at Wow Us Wednesdays! I am a big-time follower of your blog. Thanks so much for having the party!
The chair looks perfect for the space now! Happy Anniversary, Kim...hope you do something fun!!
Happy Anniversary! Hope you had a great evening. You really did a nice job on the chair - very pretty.
Thanks again for hosting.
Amazing what white can do! Well done. This is my first time linking up here.
The chair looks great! It looks like lots of people have sat in it...
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!
Love the chair and love that pillow!!!
Just went over and looked at the guest room -- I love it now and also the 'before!' The soft colors couldn't be more perfect,and I esp like how you switched the bedside table... delightful!
Your chair looks wonderful -- and I am so happy to see people starting to use Americana again. For so long, if it wasn't French, nobody wanted it. You do a great job with your painted finishes.
