From Minging to Magnificent with chalk paint Magic!

We found theses NOT very nice chairs. In fact we bought 8 of them. 
The Pattern on them made me quite worried we'd be able to do nothing with them!

Promptly removed horrid wheat design and seat, forgot to take a photo of that.
Gave it some chalk paint love....

Waxed with   clear

FINISHED!!!
 I found some black velvet and recovered the seat..one problem, the same as usual, I want to keep it for myself!! Luckily I have 7 more to try in different colours and different finishes..
It's found it's way into my bedroom and matches in perfectly with the dressing table Steve made me earlier this year..


Now for the Next Project....

 Chalk paint magic
Hi everyone just wanted to show you this old kitchen door we have painted.
1: We gave the door a light key with a fine grain sand paper.
2: Make sure the door is very clean and all grease is removed.
3: We then painted it with two coats of chalk paint
4: One section is dark wax and one section is light wax.

It really is that easy!
