\"FAT<\/p>\n

I’m so excited to share my dining room chair makeover.<\/p>\n

\"Before<\/p>\n

I am not so excited to tell you this took me 6 months to do. For real. Not because it took that long to paint them, oh no, that took a couple of hours. Its because when you paint for others and for work you kinda sorta put things off when its for yourself. So, I had these chairs a longggg time ago. \u00a0I’m happy to slowly and surely get things finished up in our house<\/a>. I made myself finish them for my Christmas home tour<\/a>, now I need to paint the table and buffet (any colour suggestions?)<\/p>\n

I could not commit to fabric\/colour so, after painting the chairs in Fat Paint Parchment, I decided to just paint the fabric.<\/p>\n

\"Painting<\/p>\n

I used Fusion Mineral Paint<\/a> in Linen for the fabric, only 2 coats (waiting 12 hours between coats) sanded lightly and waxed the fabric, its not super soft, but not too bad. (Even Mr FPM doesn’t mind them) I will change it out for fabric (probably, but it will probably take me another 6 months to decide – I am bad with fabric, it gives me shivers to think of picking it out)<\/p>\n

Some ask if it “gives” here’s an example of pliable is after cured.<\/p>\n

\"Painted<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I prepped the chairs using this method<\/a>, then 2 coats of FAT Pain<\/a>t Parchment, some distressing and then top coated with Clear Furniture Wax<\/a> and thats that.<\/p>\n

\"FAT<\/p>\n

I’m so happy with the change. They looked so dated before, I love how fresh they look now. I will confess, I am waiting for new chairs, I have my eye on cafe chairs, but until I can save up and find affordable ones, I love these chairs. Loving what I have instead of wishing I had something else. Life’s too short for that right?<\/p>\n

\"Before<\/p>\n

What do you think of these? I’d love to know. I love to hear from you!<\/p>\n

Thanks for popping in.<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/h4>\n

Wendy<\/h4>\n
