I had questions about my pink painted chair well this will be a short post sort of a tutorial
This is the before picture of my pink chair when it was green and a blond wood
I used a white paint primer and pink latex paint, I just kept painting in between layers till all the green was covered, some times if I remembered I used a very fine sandpaper because I had read to sand in between layers of paint on furniture.
after primer and latex paint
I have another chair I am going to start on however after I paint it white I am using country life toile waverly material to cover seat and arms , I will eventually get a picture for you all to see.

Wow, that's what I need to do. Gives it a whole different and more pleasant look!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely changed the look. I love the pink color! I have never tried painting fabric before please let us know how it wears.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous---just the shade I like. But is it "sit-able"? I cannot imagine sitting down on it even once---it seems the give of the fabric might cause tearing somewhere, no matter how well the paint is applied.
ReplyDeleteBut for a side-chair to enhance the décor---it's splendid.

I have set in it for over 2 years now and the paint hasn't cracked on my pink chair.
DeleteI painted another chair same design white and now it looks dirty due to my hands pulling it up to the table over the years , it does need another coat of white paint .
they are sit-able
That is just amazing to me that the painted seat holds up and good to know. I love the monochromatic look of having the whole thing pink. Well done.
ReplyDeleteNice job! I have been painting fabric pieces for years and they hold up beautifully. I do think the sanding between coats keeps them supple. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThe painted chairs are just gorgeous. You are so brave, I still have not worked up the courage to paint the fabric. I have to get brave! LOL Great job.
