I got together with an old friend over the weekend. In the old days we would get together on weekends all dolled up to do the Pub run. Its funny how we both hit a milestone in our lives, motherhood. We went to the local flea market in search of anything old and corrupted so we could refurburish and transform our house into a Martha Stewart recreation. We found a lot of neat things like an old Nikon camera she wanted to purchase but couldn't get the lens to open right. Old photography is another upcoming obsession we are entering. I came across a little blue chair that looked like it had been sitting in the back of a garage for quite sometime. Honestly I could of talked the lady down to $5 since the chair barely looked like $2 was a good price but I decided to give that extra buck up and pay $6 for the cute little chair. I already knew what I wanted to do with it. I wanted to sand down the rough parts so little Kennedy wouldn't get raging splinters from the wooden seat and paint it what I was thinking in a light blue (my favorite color!) But my husband was thinking cherry red and was he right about the color! It pops and looks so cute and vibrant! It's like I resurrected an old memory, an old thought that nobody gave attention to until a little TLC brought it back to mind.
I use Dual Paint and Premier Spray Paint since the chair is so small and only 2 cans were needed to completely cover it.
Voila! Easy to do.
All you need for small projects like this are:
-Spray paint
-Sandpaper
-Place to do it so you don't get it on the concrete...opps!
