Hi, Ladies!
You all know that one of my "Favorite" things is "Spray Paint"!
I ~Love~ spray paint because you can change the look
of something in a matter of minutes and it's an inexpensive change!
This chair was "Red" until today!
I decided that this "Honey" colored (American Accents) spray paint would
make the chair a better fit for my decor then the "Red" colored chair!
I ~Love~ the American Accents Spray Paints by RustOleum!
You can't buy them just anywhere!
I purchase mine at JoAnn's fabrics!
I always like to tone my spray painted items down a bit with
some sort of stain to give them that ~Wonderful~ "aged" look!
Normally, I use "Brown Shoe Polish"
to "age" my (smaller) items but today I decided to try something new!
It's called, "Minwax Wood-Sheen"!
I purchased it at Walmart!
It is a gel stain!
This stain comes in a couple of colors!
I chose to "age" this chair in "Colonial Walnut"!
You simply wipe in on and wipe it off!
If you want your item to have a little more
"aged" look then you do an extra coat or two until
you get the look that you are going for!
Here is a "Before" shot & "After" shot of my chair!
(Due to the lighting, you can see the "aged" chair better in the close-up photo above!)
You can seal your items with a sealer or clear coat
when you are finished if you would like!
If your item is going to be outside you would
want to seal it for sure!

Today, I also stained a crocheted table runner!
I'm trying to get all of my "Spray Painting" & "Staining"
done while the weather is permitting!
With temps in the mid 60's, I know that my days
for working on these types of projects are numbered!
I hope that all of you are having a ~Wonderful~ Fall Day!

Great project Kim! Love how the chair turned out--I thought honey was the color originally it looks so seamless! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the chair. Wow, what a difference a little paint and stain can make. Now you have a brand new piece of furniture for your room. Great job, Kim. I love the color your chose.

Thanks so much Kim for the "hows, whats, and wheres..." I'm a chicken when it comes to re-do's so this is so very helpful. Love the after!! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
ReplyDeleteThe chair looks great!!! That green is really pretty. I use shoe polish too but this stain looks like it would work better on furniture. Thanks for the ideas. -Steph-
ReplyDeleteYour chair turned out beautiful. I love American Accents paints, too. I re-painted some chairs in black and recovered the seats. They look really nice in my dining room now.
