I could paint every day.

Walls. Canvases. Fabric. Pots. Furniture. My kids.

Every day, if given the chance I would be quite happy with paint on my fingers and a brush in my hands. Several years ago I bought a little wooden chair. The seat looks like it was hand carved, as do the legs and spindles. It is wonky and imperfect – just perfect for me. Unfortunately, I did not seal the wood and let it sit on our front porch where the weather began to take its toll. Or…I could say fortunately I left it outside and as a result it needed to be painted – a sunny yellow for a happy addition to our summer porch.

Supplies:

• Brush
• American Decor Chalky Finish Paint – I used the color “Rejuvenate”. You can get it at Micheals, Hobby Lobby, Home Depot and JoAnn. “Rejuvenate” is a new color available online soon and eventually in the stores.
• Finish – I like the waxes if it is for an indoor project and the varnishes for outside projects

See that wonky seat and imperfect spindles? Perfect.I also used the DecoArt Chalky Finish paint on our green guest bed (color is “Fortune”).Now I need to just start collecting more chairs to give myself a reason to paint more…I’m not so sure Chris would agree with that though!
