Shabby chic cottage chair...

Today was a day to CLEAN and organize my house. Tomorrow the tree will come down. Needless to say, I didn't get the chance to tackle many projects today. I was able to check a chair refinish of "the list" though....

The "before" shot is very boring, plain, and drab.....


A coat of primer, two coats of paint, and some distressing.....




Randy picked up a decent dresser for me today at Goodwill...Hopefully I will have the reveal to post tomorrow.....

Take care,
Lisa

    Hi Lisa,

    What a pop of fresh, lovely color on that chair! Do you spray on your paint or brush it by hand? I recently painted (by hand) a rocking chair with a ton of spindles and it nearly drove me batty. It didn't help it was dark wood that I painted white, so in addition to the layer of primer, it took three coats of paint. Lesson learned! I have a sprayer I picked up from eBay earlier this year, but have yet to use it. You bet it'll be coming out in 2011!

    I am so sorry to read about your blog disaster, too! I didn't realize what happened til I saw Courtney's note at French Country Cottage. I'm following again and have added your new blog to my blog list so I can stay abreast of all your great projects. I will definitely be checking out Donna's tutorial on backing up my blog. Such a sickening thought all our work can disappear in a blink. You'll bounce back though, I have no doubt.

    Best wishes for a Happy New Year!
    Erin

    I know you're showing off your chair, but the ruffly pillow really caught my eye! Nice pillow and much nicer chair.

    Hi Lisa,
    Me again! Just checked out your Etsy shop. Love your style! This chair is exactly the kinda stuff i love, the more distressed the better. I just opened an Etsy shop. I have a web site but it just doesn't bring enough traffic. Keep your redo's coming in 2011!!
