Paint & Fabric????

I have to admit, I got a little lazy...........

I painted the fabric on the chair.  I know what your thinking,  it's not that big of a chair and very easy to reupholster. The reason why I painted it was because I had found this chair that I loved on anthropoligie.com, hand painted coated cotton canvas by an artist in Como, Italy for $980.00. I love furniture, but for that amount I would rather have a new camera, computer or even diamonds.

So, I had this free chair sitting in my basement, and I said, what the heck, why not if 

I ruin it I will just reupholster it.  Seeing how ASCP sticks to anything it was by far the best choice.

I just starting slapping on the paint, thinking it was going to be horrible, 

and that I probably just made more work for myself.

I used clear and dark wax and buffed like crazy.  Chalk paint is some pretty amazing paint.  I tried everything to see if it would, rub, scrap or chip and nothing.  I even let my son sit in the chair while he played xbox live, and nothing.....

I used Old White on the body of the chair,and I added some gold to the studs.

I don't know what to think about the painted fabric chair?

If you are ever curious as to where I get my fabulous Annie Sloan Chalk paint and Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint, click here, Patty at Classic Wall finishes is the BEST, not only is she a retailer for both paint lines, she has many, many years experience in the painting world and provides all her
