A few weeks ago, one of my decorating clients (also a great friend!) sold me this pair of cane chairs that I’ve been admiring for months:
These girls had great lines, but you know that I love my painted furniture. I decided to give them a coat of Annie Sloan chalk paint in Paris Grey. Or is it Gray? It took one coat, and I opted not to wax them, although I might change my mind. Here’s how they turned out:
I love the matte finish of the paint, and I was impressed that one coat covered the wood (I just used a brush, even on the cane). When I painted my dark dining room table with Pure White a few months ago, it took two coats. You can read about that process {here}.
I borrowed the gray chevron pillow from the dining room, and used a small plant stand in between the two chairs to make a conversation area in a corner of our living room.
I’m sure some of you are still gasping that I painted them to begin with, but I’ve decided that lighter colors make my entire mood happier, so slowly but surely I’m going to paint the entire house white!! Stay tuned for more, and thanks for stopping by.
