$4.00 chairs and free paint


*Lets get some things straight: I do not take good photos I am hoping as time goes by my photos will be so great that you'll want to frame them and call them art, but til then we will all have to settle.

About a month ago I purchased these cobolt blue and hunter green chairs from a goodwill store. The chairs had great lines to them and at $4.00 a chair I could spare some money. Also that trip I purchased some vintage soda bottles (I'll show you those another time).

When I bought the chairs I decided to paint them white. I used high gloss white paint which I regret now, but the paint was given to me so why not. I wish I used a creamy white flat paint.


1) I lightly sanded the chairs


2) applied paint


3) dried

4) one is on the porch and the other one is computer chair!


Lightly Sanded



Pretty Sad! It was rotated just fine where I had saved it, but it uploaded this way. Learning curve I guess.
