Whimsical Christmas Chairs

Look who's showing up
everytime I turn around...




Pin It!

Update:  You can get the Santa Pattern
Download Here.
 
 
I know.
I still have to get my turkey out to thaw this weekend
and make my wild rice casserole,
sweet potatoes,
and
green bean casserole.

But while I'm doing all of that
I'm painting all of this...




No ice on the lake.
Just sunshiney warm November days.
But Christmas is coming!





The base coat of red went on quick
because there was already a nice wood base.

I used one coat of red gloss
so I could still see some layering beneath.





Chalk in your pattern
and fill the lighter areas with Kilz Primer.








I like to shade the white with camel.








Then I added a little brushed ribbon detail.






These chairs will add a little Christmas Cheer
and brighten some corner
for the Holiday Season.








Happy Art.

Merry and Bright.





I hope you're all enjoying this fun time of year!
I always appreciate your visits,
Deb
