The Wonders of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®

Here's an old chair I picked up at the Oakland Museum White Elephant Sale.  I decided to use it as a "demo" chair, to show what can be done with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®, so only painted half.  Some of you might think this is a cool new style - if so, I can help!

Do you want to change the color of your chair cushions, but don't want to re-upholster them?  Guess what - you can paint them with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint®!  Seriously!

I took the chair cushion off this chair, taped it in half, painted the fabric (2 coats of Old White) and applied clear wax and buffed it.  Viola - it feels like pleather, and looks fantastic!  And it took less than 10 minutes to do.  E.Z.

The wooden part of the chair was quick and easy too.  I just brushed on 1.5 coats of Graphite, let it dry, then just for fun waxed it with a tiny bit of Old White mixed into the clear wax.  Wiped off the excess and buffed it, and gave the chair a whole new look!
