Thrift Store Chair



  This chair was a thrift store find.

Solid wood and inexpensive, but in need of a makeover.

After sanding it down, I gave it a few quick coats of Rustoleum Camouflage Spray Paint.  This was my first time using Camouflage Spray Paint and I really liked the ultra-flat finish.

Ta-da!  A nice new chair!  This chair makeover was quick and easy!

A great addition to my entryway.

    It really is a great colour, and looks great with the cushion you've added with the wall colour behind it.

    It looks great Brandi. I've never seen that paint before. Its a great color and I like the matte finish. The pillow is really pretty and looks great with the chair.
