Chair and Footstool Makeover (Chloe's Room post #4)

Chloe's Room Makeover continues with post #4 on the Chair and Footstool Makeover!

Below are the makeover contestants....they are in need of some beautification!

 

*A boring chair (I have no idea where this came from!) Do you have things in your house like that?

   

* An ugly, but fun footstool that opens, because every little girl needs a secret hiding place....(not sure what the socks are doing in the secret hiding place? )

So I took that chair and hit it with two cans of Ivy Leaf Fusion Spray Paint. 

* Now everything but the worn seat of this chair had a high gloss shellac over it. If I were to do it again, I think I would have used chalk paint, because after doing a scratch test on the finished product, I found it to be pretty durable, but not ultra-good-for-a-kid's-room durable. Or you could actually sand it down before you paint.....but that sounds so time consuming now that we all use chalk paint!

a little distressing with some sand paper....

The material actually has very similar color of green background and circles, but it doesn't show well in the picture. I purchased it as a remnant at Walmart a few years back, and I finally found a place for it.

Now to add a fun pillow or two!
