A Chair Project

So, the garage sale went well and somehow it's now Wednesday night...and my garage still looks like I could open it up and have a sale this coming weekend. That. is. not. good.

Oh well. When I should have been cleaning it up, I did a project instead! I got this chair at a garage sale a couple of years ago for FREE. And it was ugly wood...perfect for projects!

I painted it yellow then with a small can of oops paint I also scored for FREE!



I just took a piece of extra rough sandpaper to the edges and sanded until I didn't want to. Then I stenciled a "K" for our last name on the seat. After that paint was mostly dry, I covered the entire chair in Minwax furniture polish. It aged it perfectly. I believe it the "provential" shade.
