Hi All, Since many of you are new to Vintage Restyled, I thought I would share a project that I featured on my old blog, Theothergaborsister.wordpress.com. I love this technique and have used it several times since this post. Without further chat...
I got this chair at an auction. It had no seat, but Hubby made me a wood one.
Following a technique that Miss Mustard Seed has perfected, I painted the whole chair with a funky blue. It was an oops paint from HD.
I did not sand or prime it, just painted. Next, using 80 grit sandpaper, I roughed it up a bit.
Then came a gray paint - another oops color.
I have to say, I was liking it at this stage. But, I sanded even more. I was going for the distressed look.
and
To tie it all together, I applied a stain to the entire chair, wiping it off with a paper towel as I went.
For the seat, I used 3 inch thick foam, covered in Duck cloth.
The cushion is so comfortable!
I hope you like it, as much as I do! I believe this is a keeper for now!
Tell me what you think about this new technique.
Thanks for stopping!
