~ Annie Sloan Chair Redo ~


I can remember as a child Mom and Dad hiring an interior decorator. 
They purchased two chairs and had them covered in this beautiful golden velvet.  
I fortunately received the chairs when my parents moved into an senior community.

Before Chair

The upholstery is still in great shape and I love  the color.  
I wanted to paint the wood in Chalk Paint™ Old White without ruining the fabric.  
So I taped off the upholstery with the trusty blue painter's tape
.
How to Tape Chair

I painted two coats of the Old White, clear waxed, distressed, and clear waxed again. 
Next I took off the blue tape and not a drop or smear of paint anywhere.
I buffed with a soft rag....

...I just love the new look.

Watch out second chair...you're next!

Chalk Paint™ Painted Chair

What a simple and inexpensive way to
paint a chair without messing up the upholstery!!!

Maybe you noticed the stenciled floor...I will post about how I achieved this look soon.

    The chair looks awesome! I'm so glad you posted this because I was contemplating doing a chair that has great (almost new) fabric but I don't love the wood color. Now I'm going to go ahead and try it!

    Great way to update the chair, and from the looks of it your entire space is lovely!
    I would love to get my hands on a similar chair, but around here people have caught on that they are hot and the prices are crazy!!
    So, for now I will just drool over yours:)

    I have now used Annie Sloan paints twice on chairs not unlike these and am waiting for my upholsterer to recover the frame. I like the results but find it is a little more time and confusing than expected. I have also been blogging about the process!
