As we start 2021 a fun color was needed for my accent chair project. I chose this pretty soft buttermilk yellow.
I love to revive solid wood chairs. This set of
4 bow back chairs were done as part of a
farmhouse dining set. The pair in the back row got part of the update as well after all were scrubbed clean.
So many chairs I get have dog chewed rungs, but they usually are fixed with sanding paper to bring back to a smooth surface.
The plastic feet on the chair legs were removed by pulling the plastic disc off then removing the screw.
All 6 of the chairs were sprayed with primer then white furniture paint using my
new Wagner Sprayer and spray tent and Flexio 5000 sprayer
. These details can be found in both of the project links above.
Seeing there is already a primer coat and a solid white coat only 1 coat of the yellow was needed.
To incorporate some of the textured white and wood layers below I sanded the yellow coat to reveal them and distress the edges lightly.
I want the chair to look aged with layers of paint and wear.
This close up helps see the layers.
To add further age I applied ageing
Fusion Furniture
Wax. You can see it going on the back legs where as the front are still only paint.
Perfection!
If you are local, this cutie is available.
