Antiqued Chair with Spray Paint

October 2, 2013 By Colleen Jorgenson 1 Comment

Antiqued Chair with Spray Paint

I tried ‘shopping’ the house for things to decorate the front porch for Fall.

Hard to believe but nothing was just ‘right’.

Aw, gee . . . another trip to the thrift store.

A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. Right?

This plain l’il schoolhouse-lookin’ chair was half off the day I went shopping.

Four bucks.

I can do $4 for a chair that will actually be nothing more than a prop on the porch.

I mean, you could sit on it, I suppose.

But then you’d pretty much destroy my Fall ‘vignette’ and you wouldn’t want to do that, would you?

Nothing says “welcome” like a chair that says Please Don’t Sit Here.

ahem.

I thought about just sanding the guy to distress him a bit and calling it a day.

But why would I do that when I just found my two, ok three, boxes of spray paint?

A quick coat of a light green.

I could’ve just sanded him now. But why, when I have my secret weapon . . .

Glossy Wood Tone

Glossy Wood Tone!

If you’ve never tried it, ohmygosh, you must! There are so many things you can spray Glossy Wood Tone on, believe me.

Back to my l’il chair.

So, yes, because I sprayed the Wood Tone on, it had that spray-paint-blotchy look.

Honestly, it looks worse in the photos than it does in person.

Now I took a dollar store sanding block and distressed the edges, sanded down the blotches, and wound up with a nice old looking chair.

Are you keeping track?

  • Chair – $4
  • Spray Paint – on hand
  • Glossy Wood Tone – $7 (use a coupon for the craft store to bring the price down)
  • Sanding Blocks $1

 

antique-with-spray-paint-F

For about $10 – because I did use a coupon for the Wood Tone – I have a chair that adds a little color and fits right in with Fall.

But I’m thinking it’ll work pretty well year ‘round.

antique-with-spray-paint-H

Add some hay, a milk can . . . no, wait! You can’t see the whole porch yet. I have more projects to show you.

antique-with-spray-paint-I

For now I’ll show you my ‘antiqued’ chair that I spray painted.

And a cute l’il photo bomber too.
