Desk Chair Refresh

DISCLAIMER: This post is extremely simple and is only being posted for those with before/after infatuations.

I've had this chair since I was a little girl. It was once white, then brown, and most recently cream with a monogram (see below).

You probably know by now that I can't leave any craft unattempted, so I decided to upgrade my sturdy old chair with a fresh coat of paint. I like to categorize the covering of the monogram and cheesy craft paint as "adulting."

Sherwin Williams, among other brands, have paint samples (yes, for walls. if you can't handle that I put wall paint on this chair you are free to continue surfing the internet) that go on sale every so often at various home stores for somewhere in the ballpark of $2 or less. I got this 3.75 oz jar from Lowes in January and chose a nice shade of blue/grey called Grayish.

Truth be told it ended up on my chair because we repainted our entire downstairs hallway with a different blue/grey paint and I wasn't going to use this sample on any of my walls. 

It took two coats a little patience but it didn't look too shabby once I finished! I have a chair cushion that I use on this chair that I'll be recovering to match. We'll save that whole excursion for another post...

And now.... before and after!

Thanks for stopping by the Humble Hammock. Come back soon to see what other projects I manage to tackle!
