Here is a fun post to share about a boring chair, farmhouse flair and a vintage mirror.
Let’s start with the boring chair. I think we all have seen (or owned) these kitchen chairs in our lifetime.
My neighbor and client, Karen had a full set. She was, understandably, tired of them. She gave the chairs to charity but kept one to use for her desk and had me paint it. We chose a deep blue – Annie Sloan Aubusson.
I sealed the chair with General Finishes Flat Out Flat topcoat. I was pretty pleased with the result. From boring chair to farmhouse flair in just two coats! 
Oh my, what paint can do!
Here’s a little more farmhouse flair. This sweet and very old table was delivered to a customer this week. The table was painted in Maison Blanche, color Creme de Menthe, distressed and sealed in Annie Sloan clear wax and Maison Blanche dark brown wax on the legs.
And now, on to the vintage mirror! I’m listing this gorgeous mirror on Etsy. If interested, please let me know. It is a fantastic large size and in great condition. The mirror was finished in Anne Sloan Old White, distressed and sealed with AS clear wax.
And there you have it! A boring chair, farmhouse flair and a vintage mirror!
Oh my what talent you have! I love seeing everything you do. Love your tutorials, you make things look simple!!
Thank you so much, Linda!
Love the chair. I habe a few of that type. Question; How manu coats of the General Finishes too coat diid you use?
Hi Mari – I used two coats as a chair will likely get quite a bit of wear. Thanks!
Love what you did with the chair! I still have four of them that started out stained in the 80’s, painted the spindles and legs white in the 90’s and then painted the spindles and legs in black about 12 years ago. They are still in great shape, and I’ve been thinking of painting each one a different color but never thought of painting the seat, too. Thank you for the inspiration!
I think painting each a different color is a fun idea! They will look so good!
I think I have 4 for those same chairs in my basement ? now I might have to do something with them…thanks…lol
Love the table and mirror! I just finished two small mirrors using a similar colour and wax as you used. It’s it amazing how unique a piece of furniture or decor becomes once it’s re-styled. ? ?
Hi Annie – Yes, I was pleasantly surprised by the change a paint color can make to an ordinary chair! Thanks so much!
You have been a very busy lady, Suzanne. That lovely mirror will not last long in your shop and what a difference a couple coats of paint made on the Windsor chair.
