Before and After: Fresh Turquoise Farmhouse Chair

Last week during one of my regular thrifting excursions I came across this gem.  I particularly love finding amazing antique chairs and punching them up with bold and vibrant colours.  I knew I had a winner with this one due to it's super solid construction, it even had a faint outline of the original furniture maker burned into the underside.

I chose this super happy turquoise colour, it's actually paint I had leftover from when I did the bathroom out in Gimli a few years ago.  Sorry I don't have the colour name but it was Rona's house brand of paint and I loved working with it.  It's a latex paint with a melamine finish for kitchens and baths and it gave the chair the most perfect satiny finish.  I did my regular process of a light hand sanding followed by two coats of water based primer, three coats of paint and two coats of water based poly finish for a super seal!

Of course J is trying to convince me to keep it in our house but we're all full up, thanks very much!
