What better thing to re-purpose than a vintage bentwood hairpin chair? The classic curves give it unique style and a freestyle design brightly colored in leftover chalk paints turn it into a functional artsy piece of furniture.

    I love it! Why chalk paint?

    I live in New Port Richey as well, and wondered where you found such a great chair. You did an awesome job on it, and I love the technique you used

    I to live in Florida actually Dunedin. I like to shop in the sheriff's Ranch on the corner of Alternate 19 and Causeway Boulevard. This is a lovely chair and you've done a wonderful job. Thank you for sharing

    Just wanted to specify that Annie Sloan's paint is actually the only one that can be called "Chalk Paint" as it is a registered trademark. The other brands you mentioned are not Chalk Paint and therefore cannot be called that. Otherwise it creates a lot of confusion.
