Chairs, lots of them

Remember my faux bamboo Chippendale chairs, and remember how I asked you to suggest some paint colours for them?  I appreciate your help and in the end decided that since I’m going to be selling 4 of them, I should go with a safe colour. So I did.

I primed them with spray on Zinnser cover stain and they still ate up the additional white spray paint as if they had been starved.

I have been working on 4 new chairs that I picked up at the Goodwill for $5 a piece. I thought it would be fun to add some embellishment to make them unique. I am waiting on the wipe on poly to dry before I can bring the inside, but here is a peak at what I have done to them.

That blue is the cats meow, and I’ll tell you all about it in an upcoming post and why I will never use Valspar spray paint again.
