Painted Fabric

Well I finally did it.  I have been wanting to try painting a chair since I have seen it on Pinterest but just haven't did it yet.  But this week I decided to try it.  I bought this wing back chair a couple of years ago at a garage sale for 25.00.  It was in good shape and it was clean.  I actually bought it for my Dad when he comes to visit because he has a hard time getting up and down off my sofa.  He loves the chair and is very comfortable but the color and pattern just doesn't go with my house. I wanted to move it to my living room so I decided to paint it black.

Don't mind my messy garage but that's the only place I have to work. I decided to use Annie Sloan's chalk paint in Graphite.  Here is after the first coat.

This piece took 4 thin coats and one coat of clear wax to get the end look I wanted.

I love how it turned out.  I painted the legs Annie Sloan old white and I love the contrast of the black and white. It was so much fun to do this piece and I am looking for my next one.

I hutch I bought from a friend of mine and I love it.  I painted it the same color as the legs which is Annie Sloan's old white.

The other side of my living room

The rest of the living room. 

I have been working on my little boys room because they told me they want to grow up to be cowboys.  I decided to redo their room in a cowboy theme.  They still had the cars theme left over from my 13 year old's room when he was little.  I got these two dressers during the junk weekend for FREE.  Yes Free and I love them.

I used Annie Sloan's chalk paint in Coco and old white.  I bought some metal stars and painted them then attached them with E6000 to the drawers.

I think they turned out great and I can't wait to finish their room.

Here is another bench my sweet husband finished for me.  I got the head board at a garage sale for $1.00.  It cost about 30.00 for the extra wood but I love how it turned out.  Don't know where I am going to put it but I am sure I will find a spot.

I painted it with Annie Sloan's old white and sealed it with her topcoat so I can put it outside also.

Doesn't my husband do a great job!  It's so nice to just tell him want I want and he always delivers it.

Well on to more painting....
