Starry Little Provence Chair

September 3, 2013 by Cassie 28 Comments

Happy Tuesday!  Hope you all had an awesome labor day weekend.  Ours was jam-packed with lots of fun including, but not limited to…..

-sipping wine and listening to music on the porch with friends
-amazing garage sales
-working on furniture projects
-working on a new dresser for Emmy
-kickball with two other families
-casual cookout
-picking up an awesome curbside table, thanks to a neighbor for the tip!
-cutting back the flower garden
-birthday party
-movie night with Chris (We saw Admissions.  It was “meh”).
-walking with my buddy Jake in WAY too hot and humid weather
-taking R.I.P.P.E.D at the gym

Honestly, it was a pretty awesome weekend!  My favorite part was definitely getting together with a couple other families at the park for kickball.  It was my opportunity to prove to my friends how nonathletic I am.  People have a tendency to assume I am athletic because I like to exercise and stay active.  I never said I did it well, my friends. πŸ™‚

Anyhow, I am recovering from all the activity, so today you get a short and sweet post about a little chair.  I found this chair at the flea market, and I always pick up random chairs if they are $5 or under.

All it needed was a fun color to bring it back to life.  I chose a favorite, Provence chalk paint.  I gave it two coats, lightly distressed it, and finished it with clear wax.  And you know what I noticed after I painted it?  A fabulous star shaped design in the seat!  Love it!

Now it’s the perfect little accent chair- great in any room!

I am off to the barn today to start getting ready for our September sale… the upstairs will finally be open and we are so excited!  Lots to do!  Hope you have a great day!

    It’s amazing what a coat of paint will do… total transformation! I love the star design in the seat and the chair looks so much lighter with the Provence… I’ve got a few projects in process with that color right now. It’s such a fun color to use.

    Fabulous makeover! I love Provence… One of my faves! And how unique is the seat?! I have a chair fetish myself… So much so, that Scott has forbidden me to bring any more home. LOL! I can’t tell you how many I’ve walked away from one looking longingly back at it. LOL! Love how yours turned out! Guess I’ll just have to live vicariously through you, Cassie. LOL!

    We *almost* rented Admissions last night, maybe glad we didn’t! The chair is darling and will be perfect at a little desk maybe. I’ve got a big frame freshly painted, and waiting on me to get off the computer and get to Home Depot for a board to put in it for a new chalkboard! My projects are so bossy… πŸ™‚

    How fun is that? That a star appeared? And I like your theory of picking up chairs if they are under $5….I always pass them by and regret it later.

    Darling chair! Sounds like a fab weekend. My kickball league starts tonight but the whole top of my kicking foot is bruised so I might not be able to play. Womp. Womp.

    I didn’t notice the star before, just looked like a bunch of holes. Such a cute chair. I love unique chairs.
    An upstairs at Sweet Clover? Wow, it seems so big already! How exciting!

    How fun is that star! I agree with Karen. I didn’t even notice the star before the paint. Love that it really brought out that fun feature!

    I hate doing chairs….I always end up with odd drips and missed spots! This one is a beauty, though. Love the color (of course) πŸ™‚
