Here are photos of the chairs bought yesterday. As I said - only cost £5 for the pair - are they suitable to shabby chic please?

I have painted chairs like this with this result, I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint followed by AS Clear Wax

So, yes, they are just right for a bit of Shabby Chic! I have some more photos of others I have painted which I'll try to find.

Hope this helps

Surbybird, that chair is AMAZING! I would pay good money for a chair like that. I love it!

Thank you.

I do sell my chairs from time to time and I'm trying to build up some stock to take to a local artisan market, so there are currently a lot of chairs in my house in various stages of covering!

I'm doing fabric decoupage on another chair at the moment, which is a bit trickier than paper. I'll post some before, during and after pics as I go along with the fabric decoupage if anyone is interested.

So lovely - tfs. Did you make the cushion? I saw a crochet seat cover in a mag last night.

I sew and crochet, knit as well. However I am new to painting furniture. Have you seen the magazine - Style at Home - that is where I saw the crochet seat cover?

I haven't seen that magazine as yet, but I shall have a look for it, as I would be interested in a round crochet seat cover too. I seem to have so many projects on the go at the moment, but they keep me busy!

hi all...

i have read through a few posts and wanted to just check something out......

i have a bookcase that i currently working on, i decided to use DIMITY but once it arrived i decided that i would save that for something else as i want to keep the bookcase white.

What is the best white paint to use that will still look good once i have sanded here and there to make it shabby?

hope i am making sense?

thanks

Hi all.

I upcycled a fabric magasine rack tonight to use for hiding away my crochet projects.


Very shabby chic. I painted the frame with chalk paint and used fabric scraps for the material.....
