Painting by numbers Take II

Many people have taken on projects at home that were previously put off and so have I. 

I have started painting furniture.

I really like working with Fusion Chalk Paint. It doesn’t require a base coat and covers well. It is not water proof however. To address this you can get a Fusion sealer if you want a less mat look and a protective coat on your piece. 

This is a pic of the chair I took on as my first project:

I began with two of them in fact which I brought back from England where I bought them at a thrift shop. I love the shape of the legs, and the back, but hated the colour and the seat material. All was easily fixed, however, as the seat nicely lifted off and I could simply staple a new material over the old- done!

Here’s the result:

The material is from Ikea - bought sometime ago. The paint colour is fusion: Coal Black.

 

It’s a new hobby that is extremely satisfying.

I’ll show you more finish pieces tomorrow once they dry...
