I have finally finished this chair. I picked this up at an antique mall several months ago for $30. Since I have made over this guest room I need to lighten up this little chair.
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.
You can see the rest of the guest room here

ReplyDeleteHi 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
ReplyDeleteKim ~ love the chair. Just perfect!~
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteChairs are so hard to paint... especially the spindle-y kind!
Just the perfect amount of sanding.
I need to take lessons from you.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Hope you took a break from painting furniture to celebrate :)
ReplyDeleteYour 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!
ReplyDeleteKim ~ I'm linking up for the very first time ~ hope I did it right
ReplyDeleteCute as can be now! I think you need my project on the wall above it!
ReplyDeleteKim, 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!
ReplyDeleteWOW, I love the transformation. Well done, Kim! =) ~Liz
ReplyDeleteIt looks great Kim. Chairs are hard to paint, with the spindles....very tedious, but worth it for sure!
ReplyDeleteI agree completely- chairs are not easy to paint! But it looks fabulous now, so well worth the effort, I'm sure!

ReplyDeleteHAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!
ReplyDeleteLove 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!
ReplyDeleteYour 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.
ReplyDeleteEllen
