A Chair's Before & After
TGIF friends! I worked on a little paint project yesterday and it involved this chair my mom found for me at a garage sale.
Look at her pretty shape.
And here she is after... I used MMS milk paint in Linen. I didn't want her super chippy so I added a little bonding agent to the mix.
I even dressed her up a bit and added this wooden applique. It's hard to tell in these photos but I painted the applique pure white to make it pop... then went over it with my sanding block.
It started to chip a little in all the right spots... up here on the top...
and a little down here...the rest of the chair I used my sanding block to distress it.
I finished it off by wiping MMS Hemp Oil on the entire chair...love that stuff!
For now it has a home in my dining room.
One more before & after...
Have a super weekend!!

I still haven't tried the milk paint yet, but I always love the look after someone uses it. Your chair looks so pretty in that new color. It's nice to have a mix of painted and unpainted wood in a room.
