I have 2 of these chairs that were given to me. They are an excellent brand and extremely well-built! I got them for our family with 2 boys (and their friends) free from an old neighbor with 3 kids ( and their friends) who got them from his sister with 2 kids ...... You get the picture.
This is 1 of the 2 chairs, this one is actually in better condition than the other one. You can see the wear spots on the arms and stains all over. I actually sewed up a rip as best I could.
I wish I would have thinned the paint out on this 1st coat but I ended up spraying the chair with water instead and it took 2 days to dry!
The fabric is really stiff now and I'm beginning to worry. Loving the denim look tho!!!
120 grit sandpaper block . It felt like "real" fabric! I was so happy.....but it "bled" ....
Wax! Yup! Paste wax....
Enjoyed the project?
Suggested materials:
- Annie Sloan paint and wax (Online or check a speciality store)
- Chip brushes (Menards)
