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.
Enjoyed the project?

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.
