Antique Style

So, about the chair I mentioned in my previous post. My classroom colors this year are turquoise, pink, green, and orange.




So I needed a coordinating chair for my reading center. I knew I didn't want to just purchase a chair, I wanted to create my own. So, I had a convo with my mom who mentioned she was going to donate her dining room chairs. A light bulb went off!! I asked if I could have one for my classroom. When she came to visit, she brought me one!!!

First, I lightly sanded the chair. Then I applied a primer and allowed it to dry for an hour. I then applied two coats of the aqua spray paint, let dry, and finished with a sealer!!! The fabric was a cinch to change. I choose a yard of fabric and simply covered over the existing padding and reattached it to the chair!!!
