Barstool Makeover

I did something that I have been thinking about doing for a while. I just hadn't found the clay/chalk paint and I didn't want to order it on line because of the shipping charges.

Well, my daughter asked if I wanted to go with her the Peddlers Place, a local craft and antique store. Oh course I did! I had been to the store when they were located in a smaller building, but I hadn't been there since they had moved to a much larger building.   Oh my Gosh. What a nice place. and it is FULL of great things.

I found the Paint. I got the paint color I wanted "American Paint Company" clay/chalk mineral base paint in Plymouth Rock for my barstools and a small jar in the Beach Glass for a project I am doing for my daughter.

I have had the fabric for the seats of the barstools for at least two months.  As soon as I got home, I recovered the seats and started painting.  I was in love with this paint. The only thing I wish I had done was rough up the very glossy finish on the chairs.  It took three coats of paint but this paint dries so quickly that it didn't really take only a few hours to complete the painting.

Here is the before

 

and here is the AFTER!

 

I love these chairs now!
