I found this great chair at Goodwill for $10. I've been looking for the perfect chair for my entryway and loved the legs on this one.
The before was not too bad but I knew I wanted to paint it since I already have a couple different wood stained tables in that area.
I painted two coats of Annie Sloan chalk paint in Henrietta and then finished up with the clear wax. I wasn't sure I liked chalk paint when I first tried it on E's bookshelf a few weeks ago. I loved the look of the finish but it is just so different than latex paint. The brush strokes are more visible with it and the waxing is more work than the actual painting. It is getting easier to work with as I get used to it. The seat is recovered in some Anna Maria Horner Home Decor-the line is called Drawing room. The purple in the fabric matches the paint color perfectly!
