Autumn Floral Wooden Box

  Autumn is upon us, friends! When I received this lovely box from a friend, I immediately knew it needed a floral makeover. The newly released Autumn Morning  Dixie Belle transfer  looks absolutely stunning against the pretty green paint, don’t you think?

Farmhouse White Dining Chairs

 

Light stained round backed chairs get a farmhouse update to pair with this farmhouse dining table.


These chairs were very popular in the 1990's. I know because we saved up to by a solid oak dining set that included them. These 4 were the perfect set to paint to go with the dining table I had in stock.

As per usual the first step is a deep cleaning.


With warm water, dish soap, scrub brushes and a spray cleaner all sides were given a good scrub.


All were rinsed well with hose and clean water then tipped to dry.


Now onto the paint process.


I was excited to try my new Wagner Sprayer and spray tent for this project.


The sprayer is the Flexio 5000. I used Valspar furniture paint from Lowe's Canada in the color du jour in the iSpray front end nozzle.


Here are my first spray attempts on video.


But I ended up with an orange peel surface and that was not my goal. Wagner has a fabulous support phone line that gave me all the tips I needed going forward. Why did I not call them first?


For furniture, use the detail finish front end sprayer. Oh And sand the chairs to smooth the surface ;(
This is the step that would have been so good to miss but like the support fellow said "turn up the music and just get it done ;)"


Two more coats were sprayed on using the detail finish sprayer.


And the chairs are complete. Perfect compliment to the dining table don't you think?
