Dining Chairs Need An Update

These chairs remind me

that I have been painting for decades!




It used to be "more is more".





I love living with "less is more"!




Such a restful palette and clean paint line.


Here are the colors I used:

For the stripe on the back,

I used a mix of floetrol (paint extender)

and gray.

Basically, floetrol is like a clear glaze

and gives your paints a transparent appearance.




Then I used a straight edge for the fine lines.













Pin It!
















I want my blog to be an idea place.

I try to list my paint colors and design ideas

so you can try it too!

This will be a lot faster than painting one of those bunnies!

Wonderful look for the chairs - although the bunnies were awfully cute - I also prefer the cleaner, less cluttered look. You achieved a great finish just using craft paint, I am definitely going to start using my craft paint for more furniture projects.

Thanks Lala,
Craft paints can be budget friendly for some furniture pieces. I'm always looking for bargains : )

Hi Martha -
No, I didn't stencil it. I actually found it at a small furniture store in Kansas.
Have a great day!
