An Evolution Of A Chair…

  A few weeks ago I found this homely looking chair at our local “Goodwill”, along with some other fun little treasures that I am so excited to show you. The chair was only $2.00.. yup. I originally bought the chair to go with my makeup vanity, but after getting it home, I found  out it doesn’t really fit well. Needless to say, I am still on the lookout for the perfect little vanity chair. For now this chair is just sitting in my living room being extremely cute…

The chair went through a few changes before it’s final look….

Okay. So first off I wanted to paint the seat of the chair in a chevron pattern, which turned into stripes.. which I hated. I taped the chair off into stripes and painted the stripes in an aqua green color. I just wasn’t satisfied…

I ended up stripping all of the paint of the seat off the seat portion of the chair & staining the natural wood. I am in love with how it turned out.. ( & can I mention you will be seeing a lot of this technique from me in future.. I have some BIG plans!) To strip the chair I honestly used a screw driver & sandpaper. If it wasn’t such a spur of the moment change I would have used paint stripper, but I love the rustic look it gave the seat.

Are you getting sick of this blue color yet?? Yeah, me either. I love it!! I get a lot of questions about what color this is. & I wish I could tell you… I don’t know if this is common at Wal-Mart because I never have bought paint there except for this one time, but they didn’t label it!! So it’s a random blue from Wal-mart if that helps you any…

I love the distressed wood & the dark walnut stain made the distressed wood stand out.
