Nautical Accent Chair

I found this chair at Good Will this weekend

and I was instantly motivated to try a (new-to-me)

dry brush technique on it.

It was a whopping $4.00 so it certainly would not

be a costly mistake should it not turn out.

Here is how the chair looked when I loaded it up in my car.

I first painted it Paris Grey and once that dried,

I dry brushed Old White over it.  It turned out just as I was hoping. 

I love the results.  The white highlights all of the chair's unique detailing.

After some light distressing, I buffed the entire piece

and the chair frame was finished.

On to the chair seat. 

The existing material just wasn't doing it for me -

I pretty much ripped the fabric off as soon as I could get my hands on it. 

I decided to cover it with a nautical linen that I've had for a little while. 

I love the blue paired with the soft gray frame. 

 



I originally wasn't planning on keeping this chair,

but I think it just found a new home here!
