This is a chair I picked up at a garage sale for $1...

So I thought what do I have to lose...right? A dollar, and a chair. I painted the wood pieces first in Old White, and waxed them. You need to make sure you wax your wood pieces so you can wipe off the other paint if it gets on it. I picked a very hard chair with a lot of hard places to reach.
I used a spray bottle of water and wet the fabric really well...and just started painting the fabric with Duck Egg Blue ASCP. The before fabric did have a water stain on it...but the paint covered well. I only did one coat, and let it dry. The fabric does have a nub to it, which I like the texture. That was it! I've heard you can wax the fabric, but I chose not to. It turned out so cute, and most people say they would never know I painted it. Are you ready to see the after?

You never know what will happen when you're pickin' & a paintin'!
