Sometimes when I'm less than thrilled about a room in my house, I'll make a change. That change will lead to another change and then another change. Fortunately my husband is a "roll with it" kind of guy so he is very accepting of my incessant changing, rearranging and painting problem. Well, is it really a problem? I think not. It's more of a habit/hobby. Let's just go with that!
Once I added the vintage school chairs to our family room, I started yearning to make more changes.
It was another one of those episodes, like this one, where I grabbed a can of paint and a paint brush (around 9:00 p.m. on Sunday) and jumped right in. Not even my husband asking "Really, you're going to do that RIGHT now?" could stop me. However, I am concerned that if he had to ask, does he really know me at all?
We have had this chair for a long time and I have loathed it for almost as long as we have had it.
Not sure why I never got rid of it. It has definitely seen its better day. I have been thinking about painting it for a while now and I even shopped around a bit for some spray paint in a color that would work. I never came up with anything. Itching to get it done, I remembered we had some exterior paint in the basement that was the perfect color. I would love to tell you what it is, but I have a really bad habit of getting the paint can so covered with paint that I can't read the color. We used it on our outdoor shutters and it's a Benjamin More green/gray color. That really helps, doesn't it? Painting it with a paint brush certainly wasn't the easiest way to go about it, but I still spent less than one hour on the entire project.
