A Frenchy Chair Make-0ver

I’m on a roll…two posts in the same week! A few months ago, I bought this chair at an auction but it didn’t look like this.   

It looked like this.

I painted the whole chair with white chalk paint including the fabric.  I then used brown chalk paint to trim it out. 

I used one of my Maison De Stencils grain sack stencils that I ordered and stenciled with Martha Stewart Vanilla Bean acrylic paint. 

Then I distressed the chair and applied the Annie Sloan clear wax to the whole chair including the fabric. 

 

All in all, I’m quite happy with the way the chair turned out.  Originally, I was going to replace the fabric but decided that I would try painting it instead.  I have to say, painting the fabric was very time consuming and it took about five coats to completely cover the fabric.   

 

As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
