Long fourth dimension agone when the kitchen makeover was done, I bought a laid upward of Parson chairs for my breakfast nook, I liked them, but later on having them for simply about time, I didn't similar that they blocked the thought from the household unit of measurement room to the kitchen as well as vice-verse, their backs were besides high as well as overall they were besides large for that modest space.
I began looking for a laid upward of modest chairs as well as no, non inward a store, besides expensive for my budget! I kept on browsing through Craiglist until I industrial plant life them, alone $5 per chair. ;)
Their status was good, no squeaky sounds, loosened parts or missing screws, their appearance though was on the drab side, they expect amend inward this pictures than they looked inward existent live. At simply about indicate they had been re-stained but the chore was done poorly, they felt bumpy.
I decided to pigment them, as well as the next procedure was done a yr ago, when I shared this postal service at Pretty Handy Girl.
The materials you'll need:
- Sand newspaper (100 as well as 220 grid)
- Spray pigment (Valspar Color Radiance - Paint + Primer was used for this project. Color: La Fonda Mirage (One tin of spray pigment per chair).
- Clear sealer gloss (One tin of sealer gloss was used on 2 chairs).
- Tack cloth
- Painter's tape
- Chalkboard paint
- Rubber bumpers
- Sander
- Safety glasses
- Protective mask
- Gloves
- Paint brushes
Dust the chairs pretty well. A pneumatic air gun is a practical agency to take away most of the dust particles inward those difficult to accomplish places. But a thoroughly wipe downwards alongside a tack cloth is a necessity earlier epitome them.
The beauty of using a pigment that is also a primer, Valspar Color Radiance Paint + Primer is that y'all experience similar y'all skipped the priming! The coverage is actually good.
Use your security gear... mask, gloves, security spectacles as well as operate inward a good ventilated area, if possible outdoors. Placing the chairs upside down, spray pigment the legs. Then, turned the chair the correct side upward to comprehend the unpainted areas. Wait until it dries as well as give them a minute coat.
Continue on the dorsum of the chairs as well as lastly the seat.
Using a 220 grid sandpaper give them a lite sanding inward betwixt coats.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 glossy clear sealer is the side yesteryear side step. The glossy complete makes a large departure equally y'all tin encounter inward the moving-picture present below.
The skillful matter virtually epitome your ain chairs is that y'all tin customize them. I decided to pigment the transcend purpose of their backs alongside chalkboard pigment (this expanse was protected from the glossy clear sealer).
The chalkboard needs to live cured earlier writing on it.
Finally, a laid upward of security bumpers were bought for each chair, though the screws were replaced for longer ones.
I intend their "new shoes" expect agency amend than the flats they had. ;)
This is how they looked terminal yr later on existence painted.
The pigment chore is belongings rigid later on a yr of daily use. The parts that larn hitting the most are the legs, in that location are marks, shoe marks, at the bottom of them as well as on the transverse rod that connects the forepart legs, equally y'all tin encounter inward the moving-picture present below. Other than that, I bring no complains.
I similar them, as well as I intend they are going to rest correct hither for many years. I buy the farm on on having fun alongside those modest chalkboards.
They attention to laid upward the mood for whatsoever occasion.
Here, dressed upward for a exceptional brunch.
The lite drum is the same, it was covered alongside a piece of cloth on a striking color.
The tablecloth was simply about other DIY project, y'all can click HERE to see that post.
My cost for each chair was $15 (chair, paint, sealer as well as bumpers). The erstwhile chairs are at i time inward the dining room.
What has been your latest spray pigment project? Almost every calendar week I'm spray epitome something!
