Burlap covered chair - Before and After...

 I'm sharing a lil' chair makeover that I just finished with you today.  It was a simple redo - all be it - but it made a BIG difference.

 Here she was before in all her "velour" glory...

 Just what color is that anyway?

 Some white paint and some distressing...

 I was inspired by Miss Mustard Seed's book where she used painter's tape to stripe a chair cushion - I thought I'd give it a try.  Of course I had already covered the chair bottom in burlap by this time.

 

Then I simply used my acrylic paint and painted some stripes down the middle. Be sure and remove the tape immediately.

 

  Then I simply free-handed a "No. 5" - don't ask me why I chose this - it was just the first thing that came to mind ;-)

 The color I used was "Settlers Blue" from Folk Art.

 And here she is...much better, don't ya think?

 I'm actually gonna be setting up a booth with my friend, Julie, at our local antique mall.  We are really excited about it.  So this chair will be in there for sale around the first of February - that is, if I don't decide to keep it myself.

 Have a Happy Weekend!
